Wizard: Gou adds some demon hunting in the Steam Age

"Exploring the Research on Space Stability under the "Clothes of the World"", "Detailed Explanation of Space Teleportation Spells", "Exploration and Research of Space Spells (by Farak)"...

Wei En looked at the several volumes of epochal relics on the workbench. Just as Chief Velosa said before, the space spells that their Blood Spirit School can produce are limited and unsystematic.

The only good thing is that the space teleportation spell he hopes for most has a complete inheritance, and the rest are mostly records of theoretical research.

However, Wei En was not in a hurry to learn. Instead, he first found the exchange list of the Ghost School and the list that he could consult due to his status as the director of the research institute. He found all the research reports and spell inheritance related to space magic and chose to exchange it.

"Buzz!"

As the blue and white box delivered the list he had written and thirty-three thousand gold pounds, Wayne couldn't help but curl his lips.

"How long has it been since I had to worry about gold pounds..."

In fact, there are not many gold pounds left on Wei En now, which were obtained from the previous transaction when he customized the [Explosive Sniper Rifle] from Black Jack, Menor and others.

But these days Alexey's city-state has been repaired and improved. Even with the small treasury left by "Beautiful Hands" and others, he has spent more than half of the gold pound to maintain the operation of the city-state.

Coupled with the consumption of exchanging the core of the undead creature's origin, metal materials, etc. during this period, and after removing the gold pounds exchanged for the spell inheritance, he suddenly found that he had less than 10,000 gold pounds left.

Wayne calculated that after this [Explosive Sniper Rifle] transaction, he could get five million gold pounds from the Black Pearl.

However, according to the previous transaction agreement with Black Jack, the money will not be paid immediately, but will be paid in two installments, one after delivery, and the second will have to wait until one year later.

In addition to the gold pounds earned from the [Explosive Sniper Rifle], Wei En also has another source of income, which is the income from the school's "Research Phase Report on the Mechanical Undead Project".

However, because he had previously asked Teresa to purchase a batch of materials for making rune circles, he could only give priority to Teresa's family to repay the debt from the institute's income.

Two million pounds was almost all he earned from that research report.

Thinking of this, Wei En let out a sigh of relief, "We still have to earn some gold pounds..."

The geographical location of Alexei Island is very good, but now that he has just taken over, it will probably take a long time to achieve profitability.

In addition to the operational costs on the island, he also needs to increase investment to strengthen the island's security protection capabilities.

According to Wei En's vision, the arrangement of the rune array and various weapons and equipment on this island must be able to resist the attacks of at least a few legendary extraordinary beings.

In this way, even if he himself is not on the island, Alexey's city-state still has certain defense capabilities.

Otherwise, once a powerful person like Alais or the Virgin of the Dawn Church attacks again, all his investment will be in vain.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Wayne, who has regarded Alexei Island as private property.

He looked at the still silent blue and white box, thought for a few seconds, and then clicked on the black trophy contact.

"Dear Wizard Wayne Loft, may I ask what the internal number is that you want to establish a connection channel with?"

"Internal number: 11346, Teresa Illina Silvera."

"Please wait...the channel is established."

Looking at the rising gray fog, Wei En looked calm.

Since the last time he explained the research direction on the rune board, he has not contacted the research institute for a few days, and he does not know what the situation is there.

In the illusory barrier, Teresa appeared with a face of joy, "Master!"

She still has the same short, slightly curly brown hair, and wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. The wizard's robe is loose and her collar is exposed.

"Um."

Wei En looked at the illusory screen and asked calmly: "How are the preparations at the research institute now?"

Teresa quickly took out the record book she had prepared in advance and said, "According to your last arrangement, we are almost ready."

"Among them, Senior Escobar and Aldolf are in charge of collecting rune boards with offensive mechanical undead. The collection of rune cards with offensive mechanical undead has made the fastest progress. They have collected more than 300 rune arrays to choose from."

"Krista and I are mainly responsible for the auxiliary mechanical undead, and we have collected 123 sets of rune arrays so far."

"The least amount is the collection progress of rune cards for the defensive mechanical undead, which is handled by Senior Osana and Senior Osel, but the number is not large. There are only more than 80 types that meet the conditions."

"In addition, I have also tried to collect different rune arrays from several other schools through family connections to supplement them."

Wei En raised his eyebrows. The three research directions of mechanical undead creatures and the rune arrays that can be matched with each have different collection progress. There are more than 600 rune arrays in total.

This progress made him very satisfied.

At the same time, he had to admit that the research institute, which he had not paid much attention to before, had given him a lot of help.

"good."

"Director, as long as you are satisfied."

When Teresa heard the compliment, she smiled shyly, like a child who was praised by an elder.

In fact, yesterday afternoon, she received an urgent letter from her family and several specially encrypted parchments.

- All the information about what happened on Alexei Island.

In it, she not only saw the name of the "disaster wizard" Wayne Loft, but also the names of people who only appeared in her fantasy.

The chief wizard of the School of Ghosts, Vaclav Samuel Capo, the chief wizard of the School of Ghosts, Salvatore Samuel Capo, the chief wizard of the Blood Spirit School, Velosa Baloric...

Two semi-god wizards and one top legendary wizard, just their names are enough to shock the wizards who meet them.

And the director of her research institute was actually able to fight alongside them and even received their protection.

This couldn't help but make Teresa feel happy, but she also felt an honor - the honor of being a member of Institute No. 66 of the Von Enriso Research Center.

Not only that, her family, especially the old patriarch who loved her very much, wrote to her specifically to tell her that she must maintain a good relationship with the director.

Even when necessary, the family can provide her with some support...

All these made Teresa understand that Director Wei En's abilities, talent potential, and future are far beyond imagination.

Wayne smiled and continued to ask: "How many gold pounds does the institute currently have?"

"Gold pounds?"

Teresa was stunned for a moment, recalled, and said: "A lot of information and materials have been exchanged recently, and there is less than half a million gold pounds left from the previous income from the research report."

"That's it..."

Wei En lowered his head and thought for a while. The remaining gold pounds were lower than he thought.

As a result, it was not enough to pay for the gold pounds that Teresa paid in advance, not to mention the materials he purchased last time to make the rune circle.

"Put my part in your name, Teresa."

"Ah?" Teresa asked in surprise: "Why are you...the same materials as before?"

"Of course, after all, it was the material that Silvera used to build the island station. I won't take it for nothing."

"But……"

Wei En raised his hand and interrupted: "Listen to me, and the proceeds will be like this until your family's gold pounds are paid off. At the same time, the research institute funds that you personally advanced in the early stage will also be returned to you."

"Director, what are you trying to do?" Teresa panicked for a moment, "Did I fail to do something well?"

"Huh?" Wei En reacted and said, dumbfounded: "Of course not. This is the institute's rule and my principle."

"Just because your Silvera family is rich, you can't be asked to pay alone, right? Moreover, the institute is now on the right track, and subsequent funds and income will continue to flow. This way of handling can also allow everyone to focus more on Project research.”

Teresa breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better if she was asked to quit the institute, but she thought of another problem: "But director, the remaining funds of the current institute are not enough."

Wei En thought for a while and made a decision: "Then complete the stage research report on the rune board first, submit it to Dean Josue, and open the redemption qualifications to all people above the official wizard level in the school."

"Is this... too early?" Teresa asked.

For selfish reasons, she did not want to come up with a research report on the rune board at this time. After all, it was a new topic that still had great potential that had not yet been tapped.

If it is taken out so early, other research centers, even research institutes, and wizards will study and study it.

She could imagine that once it reaches that stage, it is possible that other research institutes will surpass their progress, and then...

Wayne could understand what she was thinking, but he had his own plans.

"Don't worry, although the rune board is an auxiliary product to cooperate with the mechanical heart, I think its application is not limited to the mechanical undead."

"For example, mechanical weapons, equipment, some daily necessities, and even the fortifications and infrastructure in the city-state, etc."

"Many application methods cannot be completed only with the strength of our institute. Rather than keeping them in our hands and gradually burying them, it is better to share them as early as possible to obtain more funds for other research topics."

Having said this, Wayne paused for a few seconds, leaving Teresa time to think and absorb.

In his previous life, he had experienced an era of technological explosion, and he knew how difficult it was for a research result to go from laboratory to popularization.

It is not only an acceptance process, but also requires the participation of many people. After it is improved, it can be applied to various fields.

In Wei En's view, the Heart of Machinery and Rune Cards are a piece of research that can be popularized all over the world.

"Listen to me on this matter. In the next few days, you will take Escobar with you to complete the report and submit it to the research center as soon as possible."

"Okay, Director." Teresa nodded hesitantly, "Then after we complete the report, will we start the next phase of research on the mechanical undead?"

"It's time to start." A smile appeared on Wei En's face and he said, "I have finished handling the matters here, and I will have time to conduct research on the subject later."

"Furthermore, I am also considering the direction of the next project after the research on the mechanical undead is completed. I will also need your help by then."

"Really?" Teresa's face was filled with joy and she couldn't wait to ask: "What direction is that?"

"It's not that fast yet, but it should be more in-depth."

Wei En thought about his current strength and progress. When the mechanical undead project is completed, he may also be promoted to legend. He will make a decision at that time.

"I understand, director, I will definitely work harder with the seniors!"

"Well, let's do this first..."

With that said, Wei En turned off the contact device and looked much more relaxed.

Although the institute's income is stretched due to the high redemption threshold for the mechanical undead subject, I believe there will be a lot of surplus after the rune board report is released.

At the same time, Teresa and others have also grown a lot and can give him some help.

This situation is enough for him.

As for the next step…

Buzz!

At this time, there was a noise from the blue and white box, interrupting his thoughts.

Wei En took out more than ten rolls of parchment inside, opened them, took a look, and put them away.

Before learning new spells, Wei En did not forget one more important thing - to improve the ghost meditation method and add more original sub-bodies so that the branding spell can learn a new spell system.

Thinking like this, Wei En clicked on the panel and added all the survival points he had just gained to the ghost meditation method.

Ghost Meditation Level 5 (5/100000)... (100000/100000).

[Ghost Meditation Level 5 (100000/100000), should it be improved? 】

【promote. 】

[Congratulations, your skill: Ghost Meditation Technique has been upgraded from level 5 to level 6. Effect: The number of your original sub-bodies increases, and the speed of your spiritual level improvement increases. 】

[Note: Your original sub-bodies are increased to number * 8, meditation speed: 1.28 spiritual level/1 hour. 】

The murmurs he heard during the previous promotion of meditation disappeared. Wei En only felt that the mark between his eyebrows suddenly projected a strong black light, and he could see four phantom heads.

Immediately afterwards, the heads split apart and slowly formed new heads, reaching eight in number.

At the same time, Wei En could feel that in the space between the eyebrow marks, in addition to the ghosts and the others, four new original sub-bodies appeared in it, looking around with curious and ignorant eyes, and making a sound like a baby:

"Ni..."

"Yeah..."

The ghost looked at the newly-appeared origin sub-bodies with a strange look on his face: "Father, why do I feel that their minds are not very bright..."

"I think so too." The driver looked at it.

"Can you talk?" Chi Gui meditated while approaching and bumping against them.

"ah!"

Wayne: "..."

Observing this, he still didn't know that this was the intelligence that the original sub-bodies should have.

Obviously, it’s abnormal for Ghost and the others to be so smart...

However, Wei En didn't think too much.

After all, the original sub-bodies are part of his body, as long as they can be commanded by him, that's enough.

He looked at the era relics on the table and the blank space on the forehead of the new origin child body that appeared in his mind, with a smile on his lips:

"Next, I can learn new spells..."
