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

Chapter 386 Return, return...Homecoming!!
At night, the red moon hangs high in the sky.

Wojciech Island looks desolate under the red halo.

The erupting volcano stopped, leaving only thick smoke coming out of the crater and some magma rolling out from time to time.

The hot magma on the mountain cooled and solidified, emitting high-temperature vapor, making the patterns of the rune array no longer bright.

After the power of the magic circle and the lava flowing through those high walls were gone, traces of decay and damage could be clearly seen on the metal walls. Some walls were shattered and scattered all over the ground.

The tall towers that served as nodes of the rune array in the city-state also became quiet. Without the backdrop of streets and buildings, they looked empty.

At this time, under a tall tower near the high wall, hundreds of people gathered together, forming dozens of small groups of different sizes, sitting on the ground around huge wine barrels and barbecue grills.

The outer circle was mostly made up of neat and clean pirates, with a few occasionally holding long guns to show off to others.

The inner circle was the core of the Black Pearl. Several people, led by Lothilia, were almost all injured, and their clothes were torn and scarred, but they all had smiles on their faces and were obviously in a good mood.

"Hahahaha... victory belongs to us, the Black Pearl!"

"What Suade? He didn't even take down the tower where the boss was, and he just ran away in disgrace."

"It's a pity for Amanguli and Kruk. I heard they are getting married soon?"

"Yeah, but who made them choose the wrong person? If they had chosen to follow the boss, they would have been drinking with us to celebrate now."

"Hmph, I think we should kill all those bastards! Especially those cowards from Dis who escaped halfway!"

"It's damn right! They killed so many of us before, and then when they saw Suade running away, they wanted to run away too. It's shameful and hateful!"

"Forget it, the boss has their own plans..."

Listening to the chaotic discussions of the pirates around him, Black Jack's eyes were full of envy. He wished he could participate in this war.

After working so hard outside for so long, he was absent from the final battle, which almost made him die of injustice.

Even though the war with the Alaniga was won, he was not very happy.

"It's all that damn Suade's fault! I let him get away this time, next time I'll kill him!"

“Ahahaha, Jack, are you envious?” Yubel was wearing that aristocratic dress full of holes, his mustache was pulled into a straight line by the smile on his face, and he winked and said, “It’s a pity, you don’t have a chance.”

"Humph! If I were here before, I would definitely kill Suade!"

"Really?" Lothilia glanced at him, "It's possible that we will hold a ceremony for you now."

Black Jack: "..."

“Hahaha, Lotilia is right,” Yubel laughed wildly, his healed wound slightly aching. He pointed at Black Jack and said, “You are such a big target, Suade and the others will definitely keep an eye on you. It is indeed very likely that you will die here first.”

"Am I afraid of them?" Black Jack curled his lips in disdain, but he could only be so stubborn.

He knew that Yubel was right. As the first mate of the Black Pearl, he had a much higher hatred value than Lotilia. It was possible that Suade's gang of bastards were really targeting him and trying to kill him.

"When it comes to talking tough, the first mate is the best..."

Isabelo looked at the laughing crowd and smiled.

At this time, he had changed into a clean and comfortable pirate jacket, revealing his eight-pack abs, a classic pirate tricorn hat on his head, and a pair of Martin boots on his feet. Sitting in the crowd, he looked unremarkable but very eye-catching.

"Boss, what are you thinking about?" Lotilia ignored the funny Black Jack and came over to ask.

"No," Isabelo raised his glass and said, "I don't have any news about Suade. I'm a little worried."

Lotilia nodded. This was indeed worrying.

"This time he led his men to attack Wojciech Island, and I noticed that Domitri was not there."

"Domitri should be the escape route he left for himself," Isabelo glanced at Dis and others squatting in the corner, and snorted, "If I'm not mistaken, Suade will also bring all the crew members of these people with him."

Lotilia thought for a few seconds and agreed: "In this case, they will form a large pirate group in an instant. However, without a legendary pirate, it should be difficult for him to provoke a war under the Pirate Code again."

"We have to be on guard," Isabelo said. "This time he can win over the Glory Society, and before that he also won over those monsters from the Dusk Cult. Who knows who he will form an alliance with next time."

Lotilia sighed and looked at the broken high wall not far away with some annoyance. As long as Suad was not dead, their Black Pearl would not be as relaxed as before.

"Unfortunately, there is no news about Wizard Wayne... As long as he escapes from Suade, the wizards of the Ghost School will be our most suitable allies."

"Allies?" Isabel thought of the demigod wizard and the fact that he had just learned that the wizard was on an expedition to the Cordo Sea. He said thoughtfully, "They may not think highly of us."

Even though his tone was very tactful, it was not difficult to see that he did not think the Black Pearl was equal to the Ghost.

Not to mention the Ghost School, the Silvera family, one of their supporters, alone has the strength to compete with the Black Pearl. If the Silvera family's position in the Glory Society is taken into account, the overall strength has exceeded that of the Black Pearl.

In the final analysis, it is because the overlords in the Cordo Sea change too quickly and their foundation is too shallow, unlike the forces and organizations on land that have accumulated hundreds or thousands of years.

Just like their Black Pearl, it has only been established for a few decades, but it is able to possess strength comparable to that of the Silvera Family. It is already the strongest pirate group since the "Thunder Giant" Ibrama Delgado promulgated the "Pirate Code".

"Or, them?" Lotilia quietly pointed her finger at Menorcroa and the other man who were drinking not far away.

"They..." Isabelo thought for a few seconds and nodded: "The Eternal Life Society is indeed a good ally."

The most suitable one is that the Eternal Life Society does not have too much ambition, and they have always been an organization that is opposed to the Twilight Sect.

This can be easily seen from the fact that Menor has extensive social connections and is able to unite all parties.

"But don't worry about that for now. Our focus right now is still on the Araniga and Suad."

"I understand."

After finishing the business, Isabelo also smiled. He glanced around and his eyes stopped on Youan who was drinking alone in the corner, with a slight gleam in his gray eyes.

He knew the other party's identity - "Plague Doctor" Euan Morris, who was a big pirate twenty years ago and was once the captain of the White Rose.

If he hadn't left the deep sea halfway, the pirate group now might have been a large one.

Euan, Black Jack, Higgins...

Isabello never expected that one day there would be so many crew members from the White Rose in their Black Pearl.

He withdrew his gaze, thought for a moment, and ordered: "Please ask the first mate about the 'Epidemic Doctor' for me later."

"Okay." Lotillia had already noticed his gaze, and she was also curious about why Youan appeared here.

"That's it for now..."

As he spoke, Isabello stood up with the wine barrel in his hand, and dove into the group of Black Jack and the others, laughing wildly:
"Let me see how much you can drink!"

"Boss, you just recovered, okay?" Black Jack said.

"Come, let me let you try it first, hahahaha..."

……

……

It was already the next morning when Wayne appeared on Wojciech Island.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The sacrifice to the gods is a bit outrageous."

He clearly didn't want to sacrifice Suad, but the Kingdom of Death's move counted as his sacrifice, and they also gave him certain rewards.

Wayne frowned and thought for a moment, and decided not to go in and out of the realm of death frequently for the time being, and even more so not to salute the god of death, Auranel, as that would only speed up the awakening of the god of death.

He didn't want the previous panel's evaluation to come true - the Grim Reaper was chasing him!

At the same time, there is another thing about the awakening of the God of Death that concerns Wei En - that is, the awakening progress of the God of Death Olanell is only 100,000.

Previously, the prompt on the panel was still a question mark, but now it shows the specific number.

Not only that, he alone contributed more than 400 of the 100,000 progress points...

"I don't know how the awakening progress is calculated. It's a bit too simple to awaken a divine body just by looking at it, isn't it?"

Wayne muttered, unsure whether ordinary people knowing His name would also increase their awakening progress.

"That shouldn't be the case, right?" Based on his understanding of the gods, their slumber should also have different situations.

For example, the four great gods are in hibernation on their own, but even in hibernation they are still paying attention to the things happening in this world and can descend through ritual projection.

There is also Lady of Disaster Tina, who died in the Third Age, but her current state is a different kind of sleep.

Well, to be precise, He was actively seeking resurrection.

The last type is the gods of death, Auranell and Gonzalez. These two ancient gods are not only little known, but should have cut off all contact with the outside world.

Perhaps, they need external intervention to wake up!
Extraordinary powers, extraordinary people, origins and so on!

The more Wei En thought about it, the more possible it seemed. If an ordinary person could awaken a god, then His slumber would be too cheap.

At this moment, he suddenly recalled the scene he had seen through Gonzalez.

I remember that ancient god said at that time: "When everyone in the world knows Him, He will wake up."

If his guess was correct, the "worldly people" Gonzalez mentioned were the extraordinary people.

Ordinary people don't learn Gonzales.

However, Wei En was just thinking this at the moment. He knew that it would not be easy for a god to wake up from his slumber.

For example, Gonzales - most people only know the Gonzales language, but they don’t know that he is also the name of an ancient god.

"Few people know about the God of Death... and no one knows what happened in between..." Wei En thought to himself.

It seems that he still needs to continue exploring all the secrets since the Second Era in order to figure out what happened to those ancient gods.

Including the ancient god Jiamendia, the god of death Auranell, the ancient god Gonzales, and the lady of disaster Tina...

Wait, we should also add Lilith, the Lady of the Night!

He recalled the secrets he had learned before. The Lady of Night existed throughout the Second and Third Eras, and it also involved the transformation of the Silver Moon into the Red Moon...

Thinking of this, Wei En let out a long sigh.

Let's solve things one by one. At least now he has a short break.

"Wayne!?"

"Wizard Wayne, I'm so glad you're okay!"

Just then, Black Jack, Euan and Menor came and looked at him in surprise.

"Yeah." Wayne said calmly, "Captain Isabello awake?"

He had already sensed the situation on the island, but because he was thinking about the Kingdom of Death, he was not in a hurry to find the people from the Black Pearl.

"Huh? How did you know?" Black Jack was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said, "Did you run away because you found out that the boss had woken up?"

"I guess so." Wayne nodded.

"then you……"

"Hey Jack, now's not the time to talk about this, is it?"

Menor interrupted him, then looked at Wayne and said with concern: "I heard that Suade left behind you last night, which made us worried for a long time. Now that we see that you are okay, everyone is very happy."

"..."

Black Jack's face turned red because of his words. He was just a newborn, and he was flattering me like this, right?

"You speak as if you, the Eternal Life Association, care a lot about Wizard Wayne. Obviously, we, the Black Pearl, are the ones who are most worried about him."

"Everyone is worried, everyone is worried..." Menor glanced at him and cursed his stupid teammate inwardly. He was trying to sabotage them, wasn't he?

Youan on the side ignored the two bastards, looked at Wei En and asked, "Did you meet Su Yad?"

Although it was a question, he was certain that Suade was definitely chasing after Wayne.

Judging from the situation at that time, if Suad wanted to escape, he should have taken Amanguli and others with him, instead of escaping alone. Otherwise, if such a thing spread, no one in the entire deep sea would follow him.

"Yes." Wei En nodded without denying.

Unless he doesn't use the "Forbidden Item 0-37 Incomplete Homecoming", this matter will be known to others sooner or later, so it is better to admit it directly.

"Forehead,"

Menor and Black Jack looked at each other and asked hurriedly, "Then how did you escape? And what about that bastard Suade?"

"Dead." Wei En said lightly.

"He's dead, so dead... ah!?" Black Jack reacted, his eyes almost popped out, "Suard is dead!?"

Menor and Youan also had surprised expressions and stared at Wayne in a daze.

"He, he is really dead?"

"How did he die?"

When Wei En saw the expressions of the three people, a smile appeared on his lips.

If it weren't for the power of the Kingdom of Death, he would not have been able to kill Suad, and would most likely have been chased by him and forced to flee everywhere.

From this point of view, the sacrifice of Suad by the Kingdom of Death is not all bad.

"He is indeed dead. As for how he died, I won't tell you."

Then, Wei En took out the damaged pirate ship model from the ring and said, "This should prove that I didn't lie, right?"

[You touch "Forbidden Object 0-37 Incomplete Homecoming", the trajectory of your destiny is partially deflected, and the current out-of-control progress is 77/100.

Rating: Fix it, the complete Homecoming has great capabilities!

Special rewards: Survival points 500, origin +5, spirit level +5, toughness level +5. 】

"Return, return, return...Homecoming!!" Black Jack pointed at the forbidden object with trembling hands, unable to utter even a complete sentence.

Compared to Euan and Menor, who had been away from the deep sea for many years and knew little about the Alaniga and Suad's actions, he knew Suad's horror very well.

Especially since he had watched the fight between Suad and Isabelo before, he knew that it would be a sheer act of seeking death for him to fight against Suad.

However, now, he discovered that such a terrifying person actually died at the hands of a great wizard...

It's like an ant crushing an elephant to death...

Unbelievable, like a dream!
"It seems to be true."

Menor took a deep breath. He needed to re-evaluate Wayne's importance and report to the leader.

To prevent any foolish person in the Society of Immortality from offending this young wizard in the future.

"Since you don't want to say, we won't ask." Youan looked at Wei En deeply and said.

"Ah."

Wayne put away the forbidden object, smiled and nodded, saying: "His death is a good thing. This way, the Cordo Sea will be able to return to peace."

No matter how others view the gap in strength between him and Su Yade, he does not intend to explain too much.

Regarding the kingdom of death and the god of death Auranell, no one else must know about it.

——The same goes for Vaklav, Salvatore and others!
"I'll go tell the boss and the others the good news. Euan, Menor, you two should stay with Wizard Wayne!"

Black Jack didn't bother to ask any more questions. He just said this and ran towards the high wall.

Seeing his reaction, Wayne, Euan and Menor looked at each other and couldn't help laughing together.

It's really hard to dislike someone like Black Jack...
