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

Chapter 93 Killing, Devouring Souls and Gifts
Blink spell, do you have a clone?
As soon as such thoughts emerged, Ognyan saw the undead knight's origin extinguished and fell in front of him, a little astonishment flashed across his indifferent face.

He is just a wizard apprentice who has just learned the meditation method and has some talent, but he can actually kill the undead knight with a musket?
That's not wizardry at all...

I wanted to think about it, but it didn't affect the movements of Ognyan's hands at all. I saw him tap his cane and summoned several summoning rune circles again.

"You've completely pissed me off, Inspector, sir!"

As a wizard of the undead spell system, he has a deep knowledge of undead summoning spells, and he knows how to transform and transform undead.

Even in the world of the undead, there are already many undead creatures that he has transformed and transformed.

After seeing the undead knight's origin extinguished, like most undead wizards, he didn't think much and directly summoned several more undead creatures and stitched corpse monsters.

If one summoned creature dies, just summon a few more.

He intends to kill the little apprentice in front of him in a short time.

At this moment, the ghost stared at the undead knight, and the rune mark representing the corpse explosion technique on his forehead lit up with a gray light, "Siyam, Sil, Suter."

Corpse explosion?
How could the corpse explosion technique be used on the undead knight? They are not zombies. They don't even have a piece of flesh and blood that can infect the virus. I...

boom,
"how come!?"

Ognyan couldn't help but be stunned. This is not true. It's not true. How can corpse explosion detonate dead bones...

But just like the undead knight didn't expect that the instant death effect of the death characteristic would be triggered after receiving a few bullets, the corpse explosion technique didn't care what he thought.

The undead knight exploded together with the skeletal horse underneath him, and countless broken bones carried the armor and weapons on it and swept across the surrounding 20 meters.

【…】

[You's corpse explosion technique caused damage to Ognyan Sherman, triggering the death characteristic - aging, that is, the progress of death is 8/10... Reward: Survival point +2. 】

Wei En stood not far away and had already taken out the six-barreled shotgun from the mechanical door.

While loading large-caliber bullets in an orderly manner, he watched the undead creatures explode one by one, as if they were lit fireworks, blooming one after another.

Especially those flesh-and-blood butchers who have been modified and stitched together. The flesh and blood flew everywhere, covering Mr. Shadow's body and face... no matter how you look at it, it's exciting.

"It's a pity that these undead creatures have just appeared, and they are gone..."

What's even more pity is that there are too few undead creatures. If there are a few more, they will definitely kill him.

"You, you, damn it, who are you? Why is your spell like this?"

Ognyan looked at Wei En in horror, his gray hair turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the skin on his face drooped.

Not only that, there were pustules on his body and hands, exuding a fishy smell.

"As you can see, I'm just an ordinary investigator."

With his perceptual ability, Wei En had already heard the crowds rushing towards the hall. He looked at Ognyan and chuckled: "Honestly, your appearance broke all my illusions about wizards..."

Moreover, it also disgraced the Ghost School. An official wizard only knew four spells, and all his strength was focused on undead creatures.

How the hell did he do it?
"This makes me very unhappy—bye, Mr. Shadow!"

As he spoke, he flashed past again, pointing the shotgun in his hand at his head.

A blow worthy of a captain's level hit him under Ogonyan's horrified eyes, "No, no, you can't kill me, I am..."

You're a machine dam--

boom,
Six barrels fired dozens of bullets.

[Ognyan Sherman triggers the death feature - instant death, already dead.Evaluation: Facts have proved that wizards who are afraid of melee combat are not good wizards.Special rewards: Survival Point +10, Spear Skill +3, Spirit Level +2, Toughness Level +2. 】

[Discover the source of devouring, do you use the devouring spell? 】

Did he rely on his instant death attribute to kill him in the end?
It seems that this captain-level attack is not very powerful...or that the official wizard is not as weak as he thought?

Wei En looked at the Ognyan wizard whose body was eroded by the characteristics of death and became unrecognizable, and calmly performed a wizard salute.

The reason why he chose to do it directly, instead of pretending to be a snake like before, was only because of Ognyan's killing intent towards him many times before.

Since both sides will have a battle sooner or later, why wait later?

He didn't want to be watched by a wizard hiding in the dark...

"Adagua!"

Before those people came, Wei En used the spirit devouring spell for the first time.

He saw four heads behind him swooping over and becoming as tall as him. Their huge mouths opened and swallowed up all the traces on the ground in the blink of an eye.

It really deserves the name of devouring spirits, leaving no trace.

"It's unexpectedly suitable for cleaning the battlefield..."

[You use the devouring spell to devour the essence of the undead knight, and your essence is improved.Evaluation: Oh?There is also this... special reward: Origin +0.2. 】

【…】

[You use the devouring spell to devour the origin of Ognyan Sherman, and your origin is improved.Evaluation: crunchy, chicken flavor?Special rewards: origin +1, spirit level +1, toughness level +1. 】

This is the effect of the devouring spell!
Devour the origin of other creatures and strengthen its own origin.

If the prerequisites for imprinting the Devouring Rune were not too harsh, I am afraid that the Ghost School would have forced all apprentices to choose the secret spell system.

With the increase of origin, Wei En felt that his body had been slightly improved, and his spirit, toughness, perception, etc. had all been enhanced.

"Who is there?"

The first to come was the guard of the council, dressed in black armor, holding a one-handed sword and shield, looking at Wei En vigilantly.

"I'm Investigator of the Secret Service's Logistics and Investigations Division, Wayne Loft,"

Wayne raised his hand to show that he meant no harm, "Sorry, I just encountered some accidents here, but they have been resolved."

He didn't try to escape, but just stood there and waited for them to arrive.

He didn't worry at all about the troubles that would be caused by killing Ognyan. The Ghost School shouldn't have to explain their own housework to others, right?

And after so many days, he has long seen through the cruel and indifferent nature of this world.

Even the Dawn Church doesn't stand for justice, so who would ask for an explanation for an insignificant dead person?

The guards looked at each other, and one of them said: "Please stay where you are, don't make any movements, and wait for a few adults to arrive."

"Of course, I fully cooperate."

With that said, Wei En took out a bottle of Enlightenment Potion and poured it into his mouth, recovering the little spiritual strength left.

Just then, "Holy!"

Ok?
Wayne responded quickly, "Nico, Luke."

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling light penetrated directly through the phantom clone that remained in place, without even giving him a chance to chant the charm spell.

Melbell...?

Wei En leaned against the wall, looking at the parliament guards who were split into two parts by the ray of light, with cold sweat pouring down his back.

Almost, almost died...

"Damn bastard, what are you doing!?" Lacey's roar followed.

Melbell stood on the other side of the light and looked at Wei En coldly, "Judgment,"

After the voice fell, his figure suddenly disappeared.

"heresy."

When I looked again, he had already appeared beside Wei En, and the lightsaber in his hand was mercilessly chopped off.

"Mel..."

Wei En caught a glimpse of his figure from the corner of his eye, and felt a shadow covering his whole body. The fear of death surged from his heart to his head, making him tremble.

Damn, I don't have the spiritual power to cast the blinking spell...

It's really dead now...

Click, click!
The sound of gold and iron echoing in this small space.

Yegor stood in front of Wei En, holding a black long knife in his hand, blocking Melbell's lightsaber, "What are you going to do to my lovely subordinates, little boy of Dawn?"

Melbell glanced at him, then her gaze fell on Wayne, and she slowly let go of the lightsaber in her hand, letting it dissipate inch by inch.

"blasphemy..."

"Blasphemy? He blasphemed you?"

Melbell ignored him and turned around and walked towards the reception hall.

From the beginning to the end, he did not place his eyes on the guard who was beheaded by him.

Yegor looked at his back, stroked his chin and asked, "Wayen, what did you do to this knight? He even used the word blasphemy to describe it, you can't be..."

"no!"

Wei En supported the wall and stood up, so that he would not collapse on the ground because of his weak legs, and gritted his teeth.

Damn, I'm crazy to have thoughts about such a man.

Blasphemy, blasphemy your uncle!

I'm blaspheming your saint Kali and I'm almost... huh?Sister Carly?

Is it because of the guiding ceremony at that time, because he lied that he was a believer in the dawn?
Wayne glanced at Melbell's back, if that's the case, this is really a mess...

"Are you okay? Wayne." Lacey also rushed over, "That bastard actually attacked you. I really want to kill him right now. If that old guy Balaz hadn't stopped me, I..."

"Cough cough cough."

Behind her, the deputy director of the Secret Investigation Division, Balazs, coughed with a livid face, "Lacey, it seems that I have to find a time to visit your Montoya family as a guest."

Lacey pursed her lips and muttered, "I know that I can use my family to suppress me, and I have the ability to fight against Liming."

"Hurry up and take your people back, don't you think this place is not messy enough?"

Wei En hesitated, and pointed to the place where he and Ognyan fought, "Then what happened here?"

"I remember you, Wayne, from last time," Balazs looked at him deeply and then said, "Submit a report to me before noon tomorrow."

"Ok."

Yegor put away the black knife, "Old man, it shouldn't work if you make reports all day long to condemn this and that, right?"

"Do you still want me to order you to lead someone to slaughter Krimes?"

Lacey jumped up immediately, "What a great idea. I'll charge first."

"Shut up," Balazs blew his beard and stared angrily, "Hurry up and go."

"Hmph, let's go."

After a long time, the battle turmoil disappeared. During this period, no one cared about the cause of the incident, let alone asked about Ognyan.

At this time, two people who had been watching for a long time came out quietly, looking at the traces on the ground in silence.

A crisp voice sounded, "Marco, is he part of your team?"

"Ah."

Marco kicked the ground that left no trace, "Wayne, a wizard who just came here not long ago... um, apprentice."

"He is good at using muskets, as well as the powerful corpse explosion technique and the unusual flashing spell. Are you sure he is the apprentice you mentioned?"

"Lydia, I didn't expect his strength to improve so quickly."

Lydia, who was wearing a red dress, looked around with interest, "I haven't been back to Custer for a long time. I didn't expect there to be such an interesting person."

"Marco, I have decided that I will go to your department for an internship."

"You? To the secret investigation department?" Marco asked in surprise: "Who in your family can agree?"

"My studies in Klander have ended, and I have the right to choose my own future path... Anyway, I don't care, I will go to the secret investigation department for an internship."

"Yes, yes, you are so powerful that you can even stop listening to the old earl. Then I dare not continue to walk with you, I am really worried that one day I will be punched by your brother... hey?"

"Do you dare? Come with me quickly,"

As he said that, Lydia dragged him to the corner before, "We were only halfway through the seat just now, so let's continue while the reception is not over yet."

"I, woo woo... Lydia, can you wait for me to finish speaking... No."

……

……

After such a thing happened, it was naturally difficult for everyone in the first part to continue to attend the reception. Lacey simply took Tina and Wayne back to the temporary residence provided by the council.

As the protagonist of the reception, Carly naturally had to stay until the end.

As for Marco, Lacey never thought that there was such a person as him, he should be dead, right?
Marko: Cool, really cool to death...

"Wayne, what happened just now?"

"He's a wizard from the Ghost School. He doesn't know how to find me. He wants me to do something for him..."

Wei En briefly explained a few words, and did not say that he would follow up and investigate Carly, but blamed the problem on the previous conflict.

For example, that Ognyan was hostile to him before that, which led to today's conflict.

"That's right," Lacey nodded, "That's no problem. I thought it was Claire who showed up just now. It would be better if it wasn't her."

Wei En was stunned for a moment, was his reaction so bland?

"Don't you want to ask about the outcome of the battle?"

"Through the afternoon's gladiatorial fight, I probably know your strength. Ordinary captain-level transcendents will not be your opponent." After speaking, Lacey got up and pulled Tina to go out, "You should rest early, there is Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Wayne: "...Good night."

It was exactly as he thought, in this world where people died miserably or peacefully every day, no one would waste time for insignificant people.

After a long time, Wei En sighed, leaned against the bed and looked at the red moon outside the window.

It turned out that apart from these intelligence officers, Ghost also set up another intelligence system in various places.

And from the name Ghost, it can be seen that they are obviously more valued by the Ghost School.

Judging from the current situation, those who were passed down in the entrance examination are really just dispensable temporary workers...

"Perhaps, if the intelligence officer takes it a step further, it will be a shadow?"

Wei En thought of this possibility, not without reason.

First of all, Ognyan's strength is difficult to match with his official wizard level. Not only are the branded runes scarce, but also his combat experience is not high.

So there is only one possibility that will lead to such a situation - that is, he has no way to obtain more knowledge, or has no money?
But, that shouldn't be the case, right?

I remember that when I was promoted to senior wizard apprentice yesterday, the school immediately sent over two volumes of parchment recording spell runes.

Isn't there a mystic wizard like Ognyan who has two original daughters?
Or, there are other more secret things in it that he doesn't know?
After thinking for a long time, Wei En felt his head was about to explode.

An Ognyan who was hostile to him was all right, but if the secrets of the school of ghosts were involved, he would be in big trouble.

You must know that most of his knowledge comes from the Ghost School. Once there is a problem with this path - it will directly affect his entire wizard promotion path!
"It seems that we have to find a way to skip Chartland and find the school of thought."

The solution Wei En can think of is the world of nightmares. Since there are wizards from the Blood Spirit School there, there must be wizards from the Ghost School!
In addition to the shadow matter, another problem is Melbell's side, which is also an urgent problem that needs to be solved.

Although Wei En vaguely knew why Melbell was targeting him so much, it didn't mean he had to forgive Melbell.

Almost killed twice - this feud has been forged.

In order to live better in this world, it is better to kill him.

The only problem now is that his strength is far behind Mel Bell...

[You have been scanned by Claire Yuri Biondini's spiritual perception.Reward: Survival Point +1. 】

Ok?
Before Wei En could react, he heard Claire's familiar voice, "Hey, why do you have such an expression, as if you are going to eat someone?"

"Claire?" Wei En sat up from the bed and frowned, "Why did you come here?"

Claire, still wearing the short skirt, emerged from the shadow illuminated by the candle, walked to the side enchantingly, pulled out a chair and sat down, "Let's see you~"

"But here, in the Parliament, if someone discovers..."

"Okay, okay, no one will find out."

Claire waved her hand, and then took out two bottles of wine and a plate of barbecue, "I just saw that you didn't seem to eat much at the reception, so I brought this to you."

Wei En was stunned for a moment, "Were you there just now?"

"Of course, as long as I want, I can appear anywhere in the Custer city-state."

"then you……"

Claire sat next to him and said displeasedly: "Why do you have so many questions? I kindly brought you food, but didn't you say thank you?"

"Uh, thank you."

"That's right~ Come on, let's have a drink together to celebrate you killing a captain-level wizard."

"...you will be there then?"

"It's not just me~" Claire filled the wine and handed it to him, "There are also a few wretched old guys watching you."

Wei En hesitated for a moment, took a drink with her and clinked the wine glass, "Anyone else?"

I don't know if his original daughter body and death characteristics have been discovered...

"Where do you think this is? The central area of ​​the Custer city-state, where the parliament is located, is not far from the Krems Cathedral."

Claire also took a sip, "But you don't have to worry too much, it's just a captain, they don't take it seriously."

"Too."

Wei En sighed, it would be great if he had Claire's strength now.

You can freely enter and leave the city of Custer without worrying about the erosion of the red moon, nor do you need to care about the power of the Church of Dawn, the Secret Adjustment Department, and the Ghost School...

"Are you coming to me to get the necklace back?"

"No." Claire put down her wine glass, picked up a piece of barbecue, and ate it indistinctly, "I have nowhere to go for the time being, so I came to you to pass the time."

"……you sure?"

"if not?"

A charming smile flashed across Claire's eyes, "Do you want to use that condition? Really anything is fine~"

As she said that, she changed her sitting position and raised one of her plump thighs, "Would you like to try it?"

"Try, what?"

Wayne's eyes glanced down unconsciously, and then quickly looked away.

This is charm, this is definitely a charm spell, otherwise how could she be so beautiful?
[Evaluation: You were affected by Claire Yuri Biondini’s charm spell. Your mental strength was instantly reduced by half. You began to have hallucinations. Your body became strange... ugh, I can’t make it up anymore. 】

"..."

Being ridiculed by the panel, Wei En's restless heart instantly calmed down, and he entered the state of a sage, "So, are you sure you didn't find me for other things?"

Claire saw that his expression returned to normal and curled her lips in boredom, "It's boring."

"Ok?"

"Well, I do need your help with something."

"I knew it, tell me."

Hearing that she needed help with something, Wei En was relieved, because the goblin really put too much pressure on him.

Well, both physical and mental stress...

"Did you see what happened in the slums last night?"

"Well, I saw two lights, one red and one black, and the one at dawn..."

Claire raised her hand to interrupt, as if she didn't want to hear the word dawn, "It's them."

"They, weren't they beaten away by you?"

"Just leave temporarily. Of those two, one is Hector de Oliveira, a favored member of the Despair Sect, and the other is Padilla Danilo of the Red Moon Church."

The Sect of Despair, and the Church of the Red Moon?

Wei En looked at her suspiciously, "I remember, isn't the Red Moon Church a righteous god? How could they walk with people from the Despair Sect?"

"Who told you this?"

"Isn't that what everyone said?"

"Then how do you know that the Sect of Despair is not the Orthodox Church?" Claire rolled her eyes at him, "In some places, the Sect of Despair is the Orthodox Church."

"Um, is that so?"

"The so-called pagans in the Orthodox Church are only in specific places. In fact..."

Claire did not continue, "These involve deep secrets. With your strength, it is better to know less."

Wayne: "..."

Don’t you know that half-speech can make people choke to death?

"Speaking of business, those two got together and planned to trouble me."

"I know," Wei En said angrily, "Even a fool could see the situation like last night."

"Then do you know why they bother me?"

Seeing his expression, Claire subconsciously licked her lips.

I want his kidney body even more... What should I do?
"You mean, it has something to do with me?"

"Well, to be precise, it has something to do with the first time we met."

Wei En frowned, "Are you referring to the era relic, or the sacrifice ceremony of the Despair sect?"

"Both. In fact, Hector thought I stole their totems,"

Claire took a sip of wine and moistened her dry lips, "And I suspect that he stole our era relics..."

Wei En thought for a moment and understood the meaning of her words, "Huh? Are you saying that someone has done something to provoke a conflict between the two of you?"

"Not too stupid."

"But, who would do such a thing?"

"I don't know,"

Claire shook her head, "That's why I asked you to help me find that person. You are the investigator of the Secret Investigation Department, and you are better than me in this regard."

"You really think highly of me," Wei En said with a wry smile: "I have only joined the Secret Investigation Department for a few days, and I still know little about investigating cases..."

"At least your identity is more suitable than mine. If this matter is not clarified, I am afraid that the entire Custer city-state will suffer."

"Is it that serious?"

Claire's face was rare and serious, "If you don't find out who is behind it, Hector and I, no, to be precise, there will be a battle between the Eternal Life Society and the Sect of Despair."

"By that time, do you think Custer will be spared?"

"What's more, there are people from the Red Moon Church involved. They don't care about the lives of other people."

"So, the matter is indeed urgent, but..." Wayne looked at her doubtfully and asked, "Do you care about the people on Custer's side?"

Even people like the Red Moon Church, who were appointed as the Orthodox Church in Chatland, don't care. As a member of the Eternal Life Society, would Claire care?
"I don't care, it's just that I'm not happy with being used as a gunman, especially when they brought me from Kland to the city of Castor. The sea breeze here makes my skin dry."

"...that's a very good reason, very strong."

Wei En thought for a moment and said, "I can promise you what you said. But to investigate such a case, I need more clues. In terms of time..."

"Don't worry, you just need to remember that there is such a thing. At worst, I will die with Hector and the others."

Having said that, Claire still came closer and said coquettishly: "Of course, if you really help me find that person, I will definitely be grateful to you. Maybe..."

"Maybe when the time comes, I will give you a big gift directly."

Wei En swallowed unconsciously, "What, what a gift, I don't really need it..."

"that is……"

Claire grabbed it with both hands...

……

……

At the same time, it was the residence of the Intelligence Department of the Ghost School of the Klander city-state.

Olivia sorted out the information sent by the various city-states with a straight face, constantly thinking about how to deal with that "genius" when he discovered the abnormality.

Should we transform him into an undead creature, or should we directly extract and devour his origin?
It's so hard to choose...

"Sir, urgent information from Custer City State."

"Say."

"Dawn Church Custer City-State Bishop Andrews held a celebration with the Mystery Division, during which a candidate for the Dawn Church, Carly Morris, was announced. At the same time, halfway through the celebration..."

"According to what Youying said, the candidate saint is the one who received the Holy Family of Dawn some time ago. She..."

Olivia frowned, "Wait, you mean the saint, the one who was in the holy family ceremony a while ago?"

"According to You Ying's reply, so it is," the visitor asked suspiciously, "My lord, do you need me to confirm again?"

Olivia gritted her silver teeth, "No, no need."

Okay, very good, you even dare to lie about such important information.

You, you are really a moth who only knows how to take advantage of loopholes... In vain, I even gave you % of the information fee, damn bastard, is this how you treat me?
"Give me a boat ticket to the Custer city-state, and I want it in the near future."

"You want to leave Clander?"

"Any questions?"

"No, no, I wish you all the best."

"After I leave, the work here will be temporarily handed over to you." Olivia glanced at him and said lightly: "If everything goes well, you will take over here from now on."

"Take over? Me?"

Olivia frowned and stared at him displeased, "I don't want to repeat it."

"I, I understand, sir, I'll go out and get busy first."

The person who came was terrified, and hurriedly saluted and went out.

"Stupid, there really is no magic medicine that can cure..."

Olivia raised her head and glanced at the two heads that looked the same as hers, with a rare charming smile on her face, "Do you think so?"

In the two years since I came to Kland, apart from the inconvenience of acquiring knowledge, there is nothing wrong with it.

In particular, she earned a lot of gold pounds, which also made her strength grow by leaps and bounds.

"Apu."

"Reese."

"When I finish my work, I will take you back to the Ice Castle, otherwise they will be in a hurry..."
