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

Chapter 393 Mark of Destiny
Alexei Island.

Two days have passed since Captain Isabello of the Black Pearl announced the recruitment of new crew members.

Inside the high walls, the stalls in the trading area are still the same, but the originally crowded crowds are obviously much smaller.

Most of the pirates hurried past, and after purchasing equipment or potions, they would leave the trading area directly, with almost no desire to chat with the stall owners.

"Hurry up, the boat will leave soon."

"Damn it, I haven't prepared the potion yet, and those bastard wizards are selling it so expensive..."

"Are you looking for death? Have you forgotten who owns this island?"

The pirates were making intensive preparations to go out to sea while cursing at the same time.

Before they didn't want to go out to sea, they didn't think there was anything wrong with the prices on the island. Now that it was time to leave, they realized that all their gold pounds had been spent in the tavern.

"Boss, the Black Pearl advises all pirate groups to leave some space for merchant ships when plundering, or at least not to kill them all. Do you think we should continue to do what we did before?"

"Why? Is he the captain, or am I?"

"Of course it's you!"

"Then I can refuse Captain Isabello's advice, right?"

"Can……"

"That's fine! Tell those bastards to be gentler and not kill anyone!"

"..."

Hearing the murmurs of the surrounding pirates, a mechanically modified pirate stall owner sighed:

"Captain Isabello's appeal is still strong."

"What?" The stall owner next to him glanced at him and replied in a muffled voice.

"Because the war is over, the pirates can't wait to go to the deep sea and plunder those merchant ships."

"Then the Black Pearl recruited crew members... which led to the departure of pirates who did not want to go to sea."

"Look, there are at least half as many people here as there were two days ago."

"I see," the tightly wrapped stall owner lowered his head slightly, "I really hope it can be more lively."

"Yeah, if there are more people, I'll have a chance to sell these little things."

The mechanical pirate looked at the things on her stall and said in surprise, "Brother, you, you are selling books here? Or useless chivalric romance novels?!"

"Who, who said it's useless?"

The stall owner next to her was wearing a grey cotton skirt and a headscarf on her head, revealing only a pair of eyes as bright as the stars and the moon.

"Life at sea is so boring. It's good to read a book. Time will pass quickly."

"..." The mechanical pirate looked at her strangely and couldn't help asking:
"You're not a pirate, are you?"

"Yes, yes."

"Pirates are not bored on the ship. In addition to work, there are parties every day. Drinking is such a happy thing. Why would they read books?"

"Besides, if someone accidentally sees the relics of the Epoch Era, the consequences will be terrible. You won't even know how you died."

"..."

The tightly wrapped stall owner blinked, then, under the astonished gaze of the mechanical pirate, he quickly put the book away and disappeared in an instant.

"Huh? Where are the people?"

The mechanical pirate looked around and muttered, "It's obvious that he is one of the nobles who came out to experience pirate life. He knows nothing..."

……

"call."

Pavla ran a long way and stopped in a corner outside the garrison area. She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"No wonder they didn't sell in a day... Those pirates really don't know how to appreciate..."

"Do you appreciate those chivalric romance novels?"

"Yeah, how beautiful... um."

Pavla paused, slowly turned her head to look to the side, and stammered:
"Sister Xizi, why are you here?"

"I followed you."

Xizi folded her arms and looked at her expressionlessly.

"what?"

Pavla had a bitter face. She had been discovered selling books so quickly.

"Are you short of gold pounds?" Xizi saw her expression and got angry for no reason. She asked angrily:

"What happened during this period of time to make you, a devout priest of the dawn, become like this?"

"Or has that 'Disaster Wizard' influenced your brain?!"

"This, that..." Pavla looked at her awkwardly, "I just want a few gold pounds..."

She could testify that the evil wizard had absolutely no influence on her and was kind enough to buy her a book...

Good Authority: Well, I can also testify...there is something seriously wrong with her faith!

Xizi stared at her and said, "I don't care whether you admit it or not. From now on, I will follow you until I am sure of your faith!"

"what……"

Pavla sighed helplessly and nodded dejectedly: "I understand, sister."

"Also, during this period, you cannot have any contact with him."

"he?"

"You know exactly who I'm talking about."

After saying that, Xizi grabbed her hand and walked out of the high wall.

"Sister, actually the evil wizard is still very kind..." Pavla said pitifully.

"Kindness?" Xizi glanced at her. "Have you forgotten the demise of the Knights of Judgment? And the Great Knight Hubert?"

Pavla was stunned. It had been a while since she had thought about the battle.

"But, he was counterattacking passively..."

Xizi stopped and stared at Pavla for a long time with a serious and earnest look, until she lowered her head and remained silent, then she spoke slowly:

"It seems I need to correct your beliefs."

"I..." Pavla bit her lip.

"Listen carefully to what I have to say!"

Xizi raised her hand to interrupt her, her tone becoming more serious, even a little harsh.

"Right now, the world is changing at its most terrifying pace in a thousand years."

"It's not because of the war at sea, nor the conspirators of the Twilight Cult, but because the three major wizard schools of Ghost, Spirit Mystic and Blood Spirit have been separated for so long that they left their research institutes!"

Having said this, Xizi paused, waved her hand and released the power of the origin of dawn to isolate the sound from the outside world, and continued:
"What I'm going to tell you next is that no matter what purpose the wizards have in doing this, it will affect the Church of the Dawn!"

"During this period, I have contacted the Holy Land several times, and I can feel that the atmosphere there is getting weirder and weirder."

"I guess it's because of the wizards' actions that the Sanctuary has become nervous."

"So, before the wizards' expedition is over and the Sanctuary has a clear attitude, don't get too close to the wizards." "They... are all a bunch of lunatics!"

Pavla looked at her in a daze, not quite understanding what the connection was between the wizard expedition and dawn.

One is on the sea, and the other is in the center of the East Continent...

When Xizi saw her expression, she knew that she still didn't understand.

"Anyway, remember what I said."

"During this period of time, you don't have to go to the island. Go all out to complete the inheritance of the authority of 'goodness'. This is the top priority. Do you understand?"

Pavla opened her mouth and nodded helplessly.

"I see."

"Ah."

Xizi ignored her little emotion and pulled her straight back to the Senor Kadlec.

After arranging for Pavla, she came to the deck and whispered to several brave knights:
"From now on, without my order, Pavla Sepulda, the Saint Candidate of 'Goodness', is forbidden to leave this ship."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xizi looked at the calm deep sea outside the boat and couldn't help but sigh.

She had not explained it clearly to Pavla just now, fearing that this kind and simple sister would overthink it and affect the inheritance of the power of "kindness".

In fact, judging from the attitude of the feedback from the Sanctuary, she had a bad feeling.

Inexplicably, I felt that the Pope, no, those people above the cardinals had responded to the changes in the outside world.

In addition to the new "blasphemy" Saint Carly Morris coming to Alexi Island, the "judgment" Saint Celestia Eddas also left the sanctuary, her destination unknown.

At the same time, a cardinal also left quietly...

"The Red Moon Church... Red Moon Island... The Storm Church's bet on the 'Disaster Wizard', and my Dawn's abnormality..."

She always felt that a bigger storm was coming!

……

……

The changes in the outside world did not affect Wei En who was in the theater. He was concentrating on learning new knowledge - the system of fortune-telling spells.

Two days ago, after finishing the call with Theresa and others, he waited for a while until he got the detailed report on the experimental process of the mechanical undead.

Then, he spent two hours reading the report, combined it with the previous experimental report, wrote a few suggestions and sent them back to the institute.

After doing all this, he took out the inherited knowledge of the destiny divination spell system and studied it carefully.

"It's harder than I thought..."

Wayne turned the last page, closed his eyes and recalled everything.

The content of the destiny divination system is not difficult to understand. It is to communicate with the long river of destiny through the original world and cast corresponding spells.

The difficult part is how to communicate with the Long River of Destiny in the first step and leave the mark of the "Favored One" in it so that you can keep in touch with the Long River of Destiny later.

"But this method of communicating the long river of fate..."

Wei En thought about the beginning of the inheritance and couldn't help but hesitate.

According to the records in the system of fate divination, the so-called communication with the long river of fate is actually to believe in Him as a god.

The origin leaves its mark in it, just like those believers of the Church of Dawn who embark on the path of faith. In addition to the power of faith, their own original power is "borrowed" from the path of faith.

In other words, after Wei En left his seed of origin in the River of Destiny, the destiny spells he cast could only be performed with the help of the feedback from the River of Destiny.

But the most annoying thing is that there is a reminder in the inheritance that there is a chance of failure in the fate spell, and the feedback from the river of fate is not what the caster wants.

There is a high possibility that he will cast a fate spell and nothing will come of it.

"This spell system is somewhat special."

Wei En looked at the inheritance notebook of the destiny divination spell system in his hand and thought for a long time. Finally, he decided to draw the spell rune of the destiny mark first and imprint it on the eighth origin sub-body.

"If there is no feedback, then there is no such thing. The so-called destiny spell is not suitable for use in combat..."

Thinking of this, Wei En compared the contents of the inheritance and began to draw the spell runes of the mark of destiny.

[You successfully drew the Fate Mark Rune. Special rewards: Survival points +3, Spirit level +1. ]

[Fate Mark Rune Level 1 (1/1), do you want to upgrade? ]

【promote! 】

[Congratulations, your rune knowledge: Fate Seal Rune has been upgraded to the maximum level. Effect: The success rate of drawing this rune is 100%. ]

[Congratulations on obtaining a full-level rune knowledge. Your rune mastery advancement progress: 35/1000. Special reward: Spirit level +1. ]

The process of drawing the Fate Seal Rune went smoothly, but when Wayne tried to integrate the Origin Rune of the God of Death Auranel, he encountered difficulties.

At first, the fusion process was not smooth again and again, as if there was some kind of power in the dark that was affecting his thoughts, causing problems with the drawn rune patterns and nodes.

"A 100 percent success rate...how could there be an error?"

Wei En looked at a new rune with lines like hemp on the table and muttered to himself.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation since he had obtained the panel. It was hard to say that there was no influence of fate.

"It seems that the mysterious river of destiny really exists. Otherwise, with the power of the god of death, such a situation would not be possible."

Of course, there is another possibility - the progress of the God of Death's awakening has increased, affecting the leakage of the power of the original rune.

These were the only two possibilities Wei En could think of. He frowned and thought for a long time, then made a few more attempts.

But as before, none of them were successful.

In the end, he chose to give up.

"Forget it, just brand it!"

Wei En knew that all the mysterious and strange things in this world had their taboos. He probably thought that the long river of fate or the origin of death was resisting the integration of the two.

Soon, he summoned the original sub-body newly named "Swift" and exerted his mental power to imprint the spell rune of fate mark on the back of its head.

As the runes were drawn, a new rune appeared between the Soul Fusion and Soul Devouring runes at the center of Yuyan's eyebrows.

[You have successfully imprinted the fate mark rune, learned the fate mark, level 1. Evaluation: The mark of the long river of fate, you need to go to... Special rewards: survival points +10, toughness level +3, spirit level +3. ]

[Note 1: When you cast the Mark of Destiny for the first time, you need to leave the original aura of the Mark in the long river of destiny. If you succeed, you will gain the status of "Favored by Destiny".

Comment: You will succeed, hehe, you will definitely succeed and leave your mark in the long river of fate! 】

[Note 2: Fate Mark Level 1, Spiritual Consumption 100, Effect: With the power of the Fate Mark, you can try to communicate with the River of Fate.]

[Note 3: Fate Mark Level 1, the probability of the River of Fate giving back to you is no more than %.]

[Note 4: With each level increase in the Mark of Destiny, the probability of the River of Destiny giving back to you increases by 10%, and the mental consumption increases by 10%.]

"The probability of feedback is no more than 10 percent?"

Wei En looked at the information on the panel and touched his chin thoughtfully.

It was the first time he had seen such a strange comment.

What made him even more surprised was that the panel also said that he would definitely be able to successfully leave the mark of destiny in the long river of fate.

"You mean, I was born to be 'favored by fate'?"

When Wei En thought about his experiences after being reborn into this world, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Can such an experience be considered as being favored by fate?
He would rather not!
