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

Chapter 408 Meeting old friends
Youan looked melancholy, with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, and slowly said:

"Carly's mother was a pirate too, at least when I knew her."

"At that time, I had just become the captain of the White Rose. Every day I was either researching the plague or drinking with Black Jack and the others."

"I feel happiest when I encounter noble merchant ships or other pirate groups, especially when I hear them call me 'Plague Doctor'."

"But this didn't last long. One time when we docked at Bolton Island in the southern waters, I met her..."

Youan's eloquence was average, and he told the story of his first meeting with Carly's mother, Carly's birth, and how he raised Carly alone, in a very calm manner.

"I only recalled these things when I left the Caster City-State. The authority of Carly should come from the epoch relic left by her mother."

Wei En listened to his story quietly and asked, "So her mother is from the Dawn Church?"

"I do not know."

Youan shook his head, his expression complicated, "I don't even know if she is... maybe not even a female..."

"Forehead."

Wei En realized that there was no problem with the woman's gender, but she was most likely possessed.

The purpose is to give birth to a girl to inherit the power of Dawn...

"If you think about it carefully, the person most likely to have done this is probably the Church of Dawn." Youan sighed, looking a little lonely.

Wei En also sighed inwardly, he could understand Youan's feelings.

——He had also clearly experienced the feeling of being plotted against and used as a chess piece.

After a long silence, Wei En asked, "Uncle Youan, what do you want me to do by telling you this?"

"Captain Isabello has no way to resolve Carly's authority, so..."

Youan turned his head to look at him and said seriously: "I hope that in the future, if possible, you can help Carly and free her from the shackles of the authority of Dawn."

"Me?" Wei En was stunned. "Do you really believe that I can solve her problem?"

"At least you are the person with the fastest and most potential improvement in strength that I have ever seen." Youan said with a smile.

Wei En smiled bitterly. His strength improved quickly, but it was also due to his dependence on the panel.

If he hadn't added points to the panel, he might still be hiding in the city-state of Custer and living a cautious life.

"Uncle Euan, I have a question."

"You said."

"Why don't you go and try the chief wizard of the Mystical School?"

"Chief..." Youan was silent for a few seconds and shook his head slightly: "Wizard Ragnar does have this possibility, but I would rather wait for you to grow up than return to the Spiritual Mystic School."

"Why……"

Wei En hesitated and did not ask any further questions.

From Youan’s evasive attitude several times before, it is not difficult to see the conflict between him and the School of Spiritual Mysticism.

I'd better find a wizard from the School of Mysticism to learn more about it when I have the chance.

"If I'm strong enough in the future, I'll help Carly."

Seeing Wei En agreed, You An's face was relieved and he smiled and said, "I feel relieved now."

He knew his situation. Legend was the limit and the possibility of being promoted to Demigod level was slim.

Even though he has the [Zafalullah's Magic Book] in his hand, the gap between him and those truly talented wizards is still huge. It would be better to think of other ways in advance.

And Wayne is the person he thinks has the best chance of getting rid of Carly's power of Dawn!

"I won't disturb your rest. See you next time."

"Goodbye."

Wei En watched him go away, remained silent for a while, and then he let out a long sigh.

For the time being, I will not tell Youan that Carly is already on Alexei Island. I will wait until he confirms Carly's condition...

He was worried that Carly would be too influenced by the power and would cause unnecessary trouble if she continued to treat Youan the same way as before.

"I really want to see what the world looks like when the sun is shining and the silver moon shines."

Wei En looked up at the red moon in the night sky, a hint of blood in his red pupils.

This world is just like those mutants, polluted and eroded by something weird.

This is true for the Church of the True God, the cult of the Evil God, and wizards alike.

All the extraordinary powers seem to be walking on a deformed road, with an invisible dark abyss in front and unknown dark hands plotting behind.

In the future, I am afraid that every step I take will be unsatisfactory...

……

……

Silent all night.

Wei En slept for a few hours, which was a rare occasion. He felt refreshed.

He has been busy running around during this period of time.

Since Chief Vaklav took him to the Spiritual Mystery Tower, he had experienced four major battles, especially the attacks by the Araniga and the Dusk Cult in the past week.

On the one hand, he got the panel rewards, but on the other hand, such days also made him nervous.

Wayne stretched and looked down at the city-state.

"The pirates are back."

At this time, Avad Island became lively again. The pirates who were transferred away last night returned to the island again, gathering in groups of three or two, praising the power of the Black Pearl and thanking the wizards for their rescue.

Wayne knew about the carnival on Alexei Island from Mitra's [voice in his heart]. Looking at the pirates at this moment, he couldn't help but admire their good mentality.

Having just experienced a level five disaster, these pirates are in a happy mood. Not everyone has this mentality.

Wayne looked for a while, then his spiritual perception covered the entire island and found Salvatore and others.

"Oh? Are the Sarei Legends and the others having a meeting?"

"I don't know if there are any clues found on that dead island..."

Thinking of this, Wayne stepped out and went straight to where the wizards were.

Salvatore saw him appear, pointed his finger and motioned him to sit down, and continued:
"I hope that everyone can report the battle last night back to their respective schools. I will report to the Ghost School, but I'll leave the Spiritual Secret and Blood Spirit Schools to you."

"clear."

"Don't worry, Legend of Sarai, we will send a message back and let them all be on high alert."

The wizards present responded, and a few of them nodded and greeted Wayne in a friendly manner.

Wayne smiled back and sat quietly in the corner listening to the expedition wizards discuss the follow-up plans.

"Although there are resentments left by the secret monks and traces of gravediggers on that dead island, and the so-called founders have also appeared, but,"

Salvatore paused and said with a serious expression: "It is obvious that the battle last night was not our final battle with the Twilight Cult."

"I have reason to suspect that the Twilight Cult has hidden a similar island, which serves as the core node of the entire sacrificial ceremony."

"Does the Mystic School have anything to add on this point?"

The witch Alicia Mejia on Wayne's right stood up and said, "We have two more points to add."

"One is the oak tree on that island. It should be a special alchemical array from before the Third Era. Its main effect is long-distance teleportation."

"But what's different from the space teleportation spell is that the alchemical array can automatically identify the user's identity, thus preventing it from being exploited."

"I guess if the Twilight Cult has a real or fake Death Island, they should share the same alchemy array."

"Therefore, we can break this magic circle and find the real headquarters that they have hidden."

Salvatore smiled and praised, "It is indeed a useful clue. I'll leave it to Alicia to take care of this matter." Alicia bowed slightly, feeling relieved, and continued, "Another discovery is about the sacrificial ritual of the Twilight Cult."

"After checking the school's epochal relics, we found that they also used the alchemy array."

"The only difference is that there is no 'knowledge' record of the alchemy array used in the sacrificial ceremony, unlike the teleportation array. It should have disappeared in the long river of history."

"Therefore, I suggest that Ghost and Blood Spirit check the relevant relics to see if they can find relevant records."

"If we find anything, we can more quickly locate the sacrificial nodes prepared by the Dusk Cult, which are those islands."

"agree."

"Seconded."

"I have no objection either..."

Salvatore nodded again, carefully recalled the problem, looked at Alicia and said:

"Please put together an explanation later, and I will explain it to Deputy Rosa, Sylphyris, and the others."

"it is good."

After Alicia finished speaking, the remaining legendary wizards of the Blood Spirit School looked at each other, and one of them stood up and said:

"The Legend of Salvatore, we have also made some discoveries."

"Wizard Drake, please speak."

"What we discovered was not the Dead Island, but the Level 4 Disaster Species that caused us so much trouble."

As he spoke, a two-meter-thick tentacle appeared in Giovanni's hand, covered with dried dark green pus and lifeless eyes.

"After analyzing its flesh and blood, we found that it is very different from the mutants contaminated by the Red Moon."

"Apart from the murderous intent that fills my flesh and blood, the biggest difference is that I can draw strength from the deep sea."

"We had some guesses about this last night." Salvatore asked thoughtfully, "Is there a way to get rid of that ability?"

"That's exactly what I was saying," Wizard Giovanni said with a smile, "You can use the [Ablative Potion] to break their ability."

"We conducted 143 experiments overnight and finally found only this method, but the effect is not very good."

"[Ablative Potion]?" Salvatore pondered, "I remember that this potion is very difficult to make?"

"Yes, the materials for making the [Ablative Potion] require the essence of the clergy of the Red Moon Church. It is indeed very troublesome."

Giovanni shrugged his shoulders: "We don't have much storage in the Blood Spirit School."

He doesn't worry about any problems.

However, their Blood Spirit School had already offended the Dawn Church because of the flesh and blood strengthening system. If they mass-produced [Ablative Potion], they might also offend the Red Moon Church...

This was Giovanni's headache.

"As long as it works," Salvatore was naturally aware of the troubles of the blood spirits, and said with a smile: "We ghosts will handle the rest."

Although the Red Moon Church is quite powerful and receives the blessing of the Red Moon at night, they are not as secretive as the Dusk Sect.

For wizards, the unknown is the biggest problem, and everything known... is just a thought at best.

"Wayne, how are you communicating with the pirates?"

Seeing that Salvatore mentioned him, Wayne, like the other wizards, stood up and saluted:
"We have followed your arrangements and explained the specific requirements to Captain Isabello. They will mobilize the forces in the deep sea and do their best to provide us with clues."

Salvatore looked much more relaxed and said, "With the help of those pirates and Wizard Alicia's research on the alchemy array, I believe we will be able to find those people from the Dusk Cult soon."

“It’s good news.”

"more than."

Alicia smiled and said, "I contacted Deputy Rosa last night and learned that they also made some significant discoveries."

"tell me the story."

"The wizard team led by Vice-Chairman Rosa has found three sacrificial islands and destroyed the sacrificial rituals on them. Wizard Phyllis has also destroyed two of them."

Salvatore did not look overly happy, but sighed and said, "It seems that only we are hindered here, and we have lost several excellent wizards."

"Don't worry too much about the Legend of Sarai," Alicia looked at the wizards present, "As early as the beginning of the remote control, the chief wizards warned us that this time it would not be too smooth."

"Although it is inevitable that wizards will suffer casualties, situations like last night are also caused by our lack of caution."

"I think after this experience, the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages for the next expedition."

"That's right, Legend of Salai," Giovanni agreed, "Although we are heartbroken about the casualties of Roderick and his men, we cannot let their sacrifice be in vain."

Salvatore was speechless. He didn't expect to be comforted by someone even if he said something sentimental. With mixed feelings in his heart, he smiled and said:

"Then let's not stay here, let's go back to Alexei Island and wait for news."

"I believe that sooner or later those people from the Twilight Sect will pay the price!"

"it is good……"

Wayne had no objection. The wizards were leaving, and he naturally didn't want to stay and disturb the pirates on the Black Pearl.

And there is an old friend of his on Alexei Island.

……

……

Meanwhile, Alexei Island.

Early in the morning, Carly washed and dressed and went to meet Xizi.

The two of them, accompanied only by their respective captains and accompanying knights, leisurely passed through the high walls of the cathedral and headed for the center of the city-state.

"That woman Mitra is the confidant of Wizard Wayne, and she has even signed a servant contract with him."

Speaking of Mitra, Xizi's eyes inadvertently revealed a hint of disgust. The filthiness of last night's carnival almost made her want to destroy the entire island with a single sword.

"Master-servant contract?"

This was the first time Carly had heard of this matter, and she couldn't help but wonder, "She brought it up herself?"

"According to her, she took the initiative to follow Wizard Wayne. I don't know the details."

Xizi explained, and then introduced other situations: "We, Dawn, belong to the Guard Regiment, and our main contact is with Old Jack, um..."

"You should have seen him in the city-state of Custer. It turns out that he is an investigator of the Secret Investigation Department just like Wayne."

"I've heard of it," Carly knew that Old Jack was Lacey's previous guide.

"The pirate guard is another rather annoying person named Ubli, a fallen nobleman."

As she spoke, Xizi reminded him, "If it's not necessary, you don't have to pay attention to him."

"I see."

Carly nodded, and her sapphire eyes lit up as she glanced around.

She saw a familiar figure.

"Tina, is that you?"

The little white-haired boy, who was shopping with Pavla in the city-state, heard the sound and looked back.

"Oh, it's a nasty person."

Tina had a vague impression of Carly. She remembered that when she first saw her, the origin in her body began to fluctuate.

Carly: “…”

Before she could speak, Xizi, who was standing next to her, saw Pavla hiding something and her face darkened.

"Pavla, didn't I tell you to stay on the boat?!"

"elder sister……"
