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

Chapter 399: The Mystery of Knowledge

The southern waters of Cordoba.

The boundless storm covered thousands of miles, as if a horrible monster was stirring up the deep sea. The sea surface was raging wildly, and waves were surging for hundreds of meters.

Under the night sky, silver-white lightning crackled and roared, cutting through the sky and connecting with the deep sea, like a divine punishment from the gods. From time to time, cracks appeared in the space, and space storms silently swallowed the sea water.

“Ho-woo-woo—”

Countless mutants became even more crazy, their thick tentacles entangled with each other under the waves, and their scarlet eyes were filled with endless murderous intent and hatred, wanting to tear everything apart.

In the center of the storm, a huge black shadow stood under the dark clouds. With the light of lightning, a dark and dim outline could be vaguely seen.

Its size was so huge - it spanned a hundred miles, was nearly a thousand miles high, and was above the dark clouds.

In the outline, countless tentacles as thick as hills are waving slowly, bringing people an indescribable power.

"Roar--"

A long roar came from the huge monster, causing the surrounding deep sea to overturn into waves thousands of meters high, which spread in all directions.

All of a sudden, a more violent storm swept out!

"Roar--"

At its foot, there is a quiet little island that is very inconspicuous, but it is not affected by the storm at all, and there is not even a trace of wind or waves around it.

Engelbert stood on the small building in the center of the island. No expression could be seen under the golden cloth. Only a pair of cold and ruthless eyes were staring at the huge shadow.

"It is at the peak of the fourth level of disaster and is about to be promoted to the fifth level of disaster... Wizard Salvatore, this is a gift specially prepared for you..."

Engelbert muttered to himself, his voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.

After a long time, his eyes showed a slight fluctuation for the first time, as if he was a little surprised.

"Any results from Alexei Island?"

Behind him, two dusk gravediggers and a founder wrapped in golden cloth appeared at the same time.

"Lord Engelbert, we have the result!" One of the gravediggers lifted his robe, revealing three ferocious mouths on his chest. Circles of sharp teeth were wriggling, making a harsh friction sound.

"Failed?"

"Yes."

"Did he find it there?" Engelbert was not surprised by the result, but was concerned about the purpose of letting the gravediggers attack Alexei Island this time.

"No." The gravedigger's tone remained unchanged.

"Did Salvatore and the others arrive?"

"That's true..."

Engelbert lost his patience, turned around and looked at the other golden founder and asked:
"Elisabetta, tell me the details."

"Unexpectedly, the strength of the 'Disaster Wizard' is far more powerful than imagined."

"Oh?"

"He had already discovered those dedicated people before the subsequent gravediggers arrived there, and even..."

The founder covered by the golden cloth paused and continued in a low voice:

"He used only dozens of spells to annihilate all those dedicated people and almost all the deep sea species."

"In fact, the entire battle was over in less than ten minutes!"

Engelbert had a slightly strange look in his eyes. He knew that the young wizard was quite powerful, and his actions on Wojciech Island had also been discovered by their Twilight Sect.

However, those who sacrificed themselves for the sect and went to Alexei Island this time accounted for about one-third of the core force of the Twilight Sect.

Except that the founders were not arranged to go, but to deal with a great wizard... no, even a high-level legendary wizard would not be able to do this.

"So, he was finished before Salvatore and the others made any move?"

"Yes, but we have already spotted them. We should reunite with the 'Disaster Wizard' now."

The Golden Founder hesitated and said, "It's just that the plan did fail. The 'Disaster Wizard' did not find the 'clue', but used the inherited spell of the Ghost Mystic Wizard to devour all the corpses and space equipment."

"It is worth mentioning that a Level 4 Disaster Species also died instantly."

"Yeah……"

After Engelbert understood all this, a murderous look flashed in his eyes.

This result was not what he wanted to see, it was the worst case scenario!

Not only did they not cause any damage to Alexei Island, they did not make the "disaster wizard" pay a heavy price, and they did not even send out the "clue"...

"What should we do next, Lord Engelbert?" the founder asked:

"Without 'clues', they can't find this place. They want Salvatore and others to come..."

Engelbert raised his hand for silence.

He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Then let Frances do it."

"it?"

The founder looked at the terrifyingly huge disaster species outside the window and said hesitantly, "It has not yet reached level five. If it goes out now, I'm afraid the entire deep sea will be in turmoil."

"Don't forget, it's not just the wizards, the five sea clan sanctuaries are even more sensitive. If they knew the situation of the disaster species, it would not be difficult for them to guess our plan!"

"Do as I say," Engelbert said without explanation, his cold and ruthless eyes slowly turning and glancing at him.

"Or, you and I can do it..."

"I see!"

Before he could finish his words, the founder wrapped in golden cloth flashed to the outside of the island and headed towards the huge shadow monster.

Soon, a faster, more terrifying and violent roar came from the monster.

The area covered by the rumbling storm expanded further, as if it was going to cover the entire deep sea.

Not only that, countless horrible mutants sleeping in the deep sea seemed to have been summoned. They woke up and appeared silently on the sea surface.

After noticing the huge monster, its dead and cold eyes suddenly became fanatical, crazy and full of murderous intent.

"Roar--"

Accompanied by roars, these horrible monsters rushed out frantically, as if driven by the huge monster.

Engelbert looked at this scene, a smile appeared on his face under the cloth, "Come on, everyone..."

"The great 'Lord of Truth and Killing' is about to come into the world!"

……

……

At the same time, on Alexei Island.

After seeing the young wizard's crazy behavior, the pirates celebrated in various taverns as if it were a festival.

They drank and ate meat, and excitedly talked about the future, all the while thinking about joining the guard regiment of Alexei Island and becoming a part of the island.

"From today on, I will only follow one person in the entire deep sea." "He is the Lord of Alexei Island, Mr. Wayne Loft, the 'First Wizard Under Legend' of the Ghost School!"

"No, you have to add 'Big Pirate' to his prefix!"

"Don't forget, when Wizard Wayne first went out to sea, he appeared as a pirate. 'Red Hair'!"

"'Redhead'? The great pirate 'Redhead'?"

"Hahaha... Indeed, I feel this title is more in line with our aesthetics!"

"No, I still think 'Disaster Wizard' is more suitable for his identity!"

"'Red hair' plus!"

"..."

While the pirates were arguing over the name of Wayne, there was peace and tranquility under the two towering cathedrals at the other end.

Two balls of divine light, one gold and one blue, blocked the red moon pollution from leaving this side of the island.

At this time, in the Blue Cathedral, Eve closed the room under the dome, allowing the power of the storm faith to block information from the outside world.

She glanced at the high wall outside the window, pondered for a moment, took out a mirror, and input some authority and power.

The next second, a figure turned from virtual to real - it was a mature and charming face, with a pair of gentle eyes on the fair and tender face, and long pink hair was braided into two pigtails hanging on the shoulders.

She was wearing a golden long skirt, her plump figure was extremely charming, and her slender waist was followed by an exaggeratedly curved hip...

"Good night, Ms. Morien!" Eve knelt on one knee, put her left hand on her shoulder, and saluted respectfully.

"Good night, little Eve."

Ms. Morien smiled warmly and said gently, "Did something happen on Alexei Island?"

"Yes, Ms. Morien." Eve did not stand up, and continued to recount Wayne's performance at nightfall, saying:
"His strength is beyond my expectation, and his growth rate is also unmatched by other wizards. I have not even seen similar records in any relics of the era..."

"No," Ms. Morien said with an unchanged expression, shaking her head and smiling, "In the long history of this world, there are more than one wizard like him."

"Um, but I didn't find any relevant records in the church books..." Eve looked up at the figure in the mirror and asked in confusion: "Is it the Third Age or the Fourth Age?"

"All."

Ms. Maureen leaned back in her chair, resting her chin on one hand, as if lost in memories.

After a long while, she came back to her senses, looked at Eve in the mirror and said apologetically:
"Sorry, I'm old now and I always like to reminisce about the past."

"It's okay, Ms. Maureen." Eve shook her head.

"Don't tell anyone what I'm going to say next." Ms. Morien reminded her and continued without waiting for her response:

"In the records of the Church of Storms, there is indeed no such wizard. However, those of us who accept the mission of the Great Lady of Storms will know some secrets unknown to the outside world."

"Just as your 'free' authority will bring you terrifying power, we will receive revelation."

"In that secret, there is a passage that says - wizards do not ascend to the throne of God, do not spread faith, and do not live in the kingdom to gather the throne of God, but they have a power far more terrifying than faith."

"Power?" Eve was stunned. "You mean..."

"The power of 'knowledge'," Ms. Morien said without hesitation, "I don't know when it started, or who first spread it, but Gonzales language has become the basis of wizards' spells."

"Next, there was the founder of the Spirit Mystic School. He brought runeology. Ghosts, blood spirits, and shadows also have different 'knowledge' inheritances."

"Although they all appear to be based on Gonzales and runes, the revelations we have received tell us that that is not the truth."

The truth is...

Eve looked at the figure in the mirror thoughtfully and said nothing.

She vaguely understood that this secret must be related to an unknown past of Storm and the wizards.

"The truth is buried beneath the Gonzales language and runes, potions, and the mysteries of 'knowledge'."

Ms. Maureen said such an ambiguous statement, and then a hint of shyness appeared on her face, as if she was ashamed of saying such a thing.

"This is a hint from the great Lady Storm. I still don't understand the secret."

"But from this sentence, we can clearly see that wizards are not simple, and even make great beings afraid of them."

"From what I can see now, Wayne's secret should be the secret of all wizards. It is the power of 'knowledge' that allows him to perform so amazingly."

Having said this, Ms. Morien paused.

"Back to the previous question, there were two beings like him in the Third Era. One was the wizard Zafarullah from the Turing Empire, who was also a wizard from the Spiritual Mystic School."

"The other one is a student of the founder of the Ghost School, Wizard Lister. He is a necromancer with terrifying strength and strong malice towards the Orthodox Church and the Evil God Sect."

"In the Fourth Era, in addition to the terrifying demigod Vaklav, similar wizards also appeared in the Blood Spirit and Mechanical schools."

"Their characteristics are that within a very short period of time, their strength will be promoted to the legendary level, and then they will enter a stable period until they become demigod wizards, leading their respective schools to rapid progress."

"And every time such wizards appear, the strength of their schools will be enhanced. At least a dozen or as many as dozens of legendary wizards will appear one after another..."

Eve opened her mouth, a look of surprise on her face, "Is it so scary?"

“It’s so horrible!”

Ms. Morien sighed, and there were faint starlight in her eyes, like an illusion in the picture.

"If this were not the case, the great Lady of Storms would not have given any warning."

"You mean me and..." Eve's face flushed and she said shyly, "The fact that Wizard Wayne and I are forming a family is an oracle from the great Lady of Storms?"

"Of course," Ms. Morien said as a matter of course, "If it wasn't for the oracle, how could I let you, the 'free' saint, take the initiative to go to Alexei Island?"

"They also deliberately withdrew from Red Moon Island and separated Archbishop Alfi Misuraka to return to defend the Holy Land of Manuel Yoel."

Eve bit her lip and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Ms. Morien, Wizard Wayne is not willing to accept us..."

"No need to apologize, little Eve," Ms. Morien chuckled, "This is not your fault, and it is certainly not Wizard Wayne's fault."

"At the same time, I don't think you will fail. Maybe after a while, the little guy will accept you."

"what?"

"The oracle of the Great Lady of Storms is not only valid for her followers."

Ms. Morien said with a slightly naughty tone and a hint of anticipation on her charming face, "Or you can think about the name of his first child in the future. How about naming the boy Wesley Loft?"

"what?"

Eve's face turned even redder, and she shook her head repeatedly, "Don't say such things, Ms. Morien."

"Ha ha……"

Ms. Morien smiled happily, "Little Eve, doesn't your 'freedom' authority tell you that pursuing happiness is also a free choice?"

Eve: “…”

How come she doesn’t know that there is such an understanding of the power of “freedom”?

“Free” authority: Yes.
