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

Chapter 101 Party invitation, new spell
After working for two hours, Wei En finally consumed all the potion ingredients.

But last time he didn't buy too much, he only bought 10 copies of each potion.

One bottle of bad (made while studying), two bottles of good grade, three bottles of excellent grade, and four bottles of perfect grade.

Except for keeping two perfect bottles of each magic potion for personal use, the rest must be traded.

Originally, when Wei En selected the potion formula, he focused on practicality, such as the speed potion and the spirit surge potion, which were specially used for him in battle.

Phantasmal potions, concealment potions, and underwater breathing potions are all for different scenarios, making it easier for him to perform tasks or run away.

"It should also be able to maintain about double the profit."

After a simple calculation, Wei En is quite satisfied with the result.

As long as the gold pounds earned can support his study and experiment needs for a period of time, and at the same time ensure the smooth development of the potion business.

"It's 10:50?"

Is it this late?
Wei En looked out the window, not knowing when the giant deep-sea beast had disappeared.

Just like what Claire said, it was just an accident that Rasim appeared in the waters near the city-state of Custer this time.

I don’t know how many people had their eyes poked out because they saw Rahim...

Wei En shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Compared with ordinary people, his situation as an outsider is not much better. It is better to improve his strength as soon as possible.

Then he picked up the card on the table and placed it on his forehead, entering the nightmare world again.

It's just that Wei En, who was so focused on keeping a low profile, forgot another very important thing...

"Come and see, the relics just excavated from the remains of the Endel Empire in the Fourth Epoch, I guarantee... Ga!"

A very short gray figure with a big number 2 on his head. When he saw Wei En's shadow while selling, he froze in fear.

"The red moon is above, this, he, he, he, he, is 27??"

"Shut your mouth and don't rush this lord."

"Your Excellency, please forgive his ignorance..."

It was only when Wei En saw the surrounding situation that he realized that he forgot that he had bought a six-barrel musket in the initial area when he left last time.

According to Franta, the extraordinary people in the transit area usually leave the nightmare world from there, so that they can ensure that they will appear in the transit area the next time they come in.

More importantly, in less than two days, his origin has increased by 5 points, increasing his number in the nightmare world to 27...

Even in the captain's area, this number is not low, let alone the initial area that spans two areas.

"Go ahead." Wei En's calm voice sounded, making the people around him quiet again.

"..."

When Wei En saw this, he walked helplessly towards the transfer area.

He just scanned around and didn't see Franta's figure, nor did he hear the words "recover the bodies of the priests of the Church of Dawn", so he had to try his luck in the staging area.

After he walked far away, the extraordinary person behind him breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's too scary. Just now when his eyes looked over, I felt like I was about to disappear."

"Yeah, such an origin is really not suitable for appearing in the initial zone, and it has too much influence on us."

"If you want to blame, you can only blame your poor strength. Like me, it doesn't have much influence." A transcendent with the number 9 written on his forehead proudly said.

"That is to say, in the nightmare world, you need to abide by the rules of origin supremacy. The real world is waiting to see if I can stab you to death!"

"you--"

Wei En didn't pay too much attention to the sounds of respect, envy, or flattery around him.

If it weren't for the two-digit number on his forehead, he might be like these people now, leaning on a low mound with a tombstone in his arms and shouting: Potions for sale, perfect level...

Thinking about that scene, it seems quite joyful.

"Transit area..."

Not long after, Wei En passed through the initial area and came to the foot of the tall tower.

Even though he had seen it last time, he still felt incredible when he looked at this tower again.

The whole tower is so high that it cannot be seen, the diameter of its bottom area is as long as ten kilometers, and the square white bricks and stones are piled up one after another, which is very spectacular.

But the body of the tower was not perfect, and several clear cracks extended from the height to the bottom, revealing some twisted lines inside.

Vaguely, Wei En recognized a familiar rune node in the crack, the cornerstone rune?
The tower actually incorporates related runes of the mechanical school?
This couldn't help but make him curious. Could it be that this high tower is not an illusory scene created by the Nightmare Sect, but a real existence?
Because if it is fake, there is no need to make it so real, even the rune nodes and lines are exposed.

"Your Mightiness?"

"Franta, it's me."

Seeing that it was a blood spirit wizard, Wei En nodded lightly, "Sorry, I wasted some time making potions, and I'm late."

"It's not too late, it's you...how can you do this with your origin?"

Franta stared blankly at the number on his forehead. Shocked, even his body began to ripple like water waves.

"It's nothing, it's just that my strength has improved a little."

Less, a little?

When I first met two days ago, I was only 22...

In two days, the origin has increased by 5 levels, and the overall increase has increased by 50%...

You call this a little? ?
Franta took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He knew that this time it was really fate, otherwise how could he be so lucky to meet such a strong man?
"Your Excellency, the quality of the enlightenment potion last time was very good. I wonder if you still want to sell it today? I am willing to bid 3 gold pounds and 10 shillings to buy it."

"Why?" Wei En was a little surprised, and someone took the initiative to increase the purchase price... How much money?
Franta explained with a smile: "Many potion masters sell perfect potions that are much higher than others. With your status and strength, you deserve such a premium."

This is the strategy he came up with, buying at a premium and equal status.

It's only ten shillings. If you can get this friend's friendship, no, even if it's just a little more familiar than others, this investment is worth it.

Moreover, his aim was not without purpose. The prices of potions sold by well-known potion masters were higher than those of others.

It's just that people of their identities rarely sell basic potions such as Enlightenment Potions...

"Thank you then."

Wei En could see what he was thinking, but he didn't refuse.

The reality of this world is terrible. There is no unprovoked goodwill, but more unprovoked malice.

It was rare for someone to show kindness to him so directly, and of course he wouldn't mind having one more "acquaintance".

"This time, besides the Enlightenment Potion, I have several other potions..."

After a while, Wayne sold all the potions to Franta at a premium of about 10%, and signed a transaction contract through the nightmare worm.

"I wonder if midnight in two days' time would be convenient for you?"

"Ok?"

Franta smiled and said, "That's right. There will be a small party on the 49th floor of the tower in two days. If you have time, I would like to invite you to attend."

Wei En asked with interest: "What kind of party?"

"It was organized by a wizard from the Occult School. Most of the participants are elites from various schools, and many of them are masters of Potion Science."

Wei En thought for a moment, wizards from various schools?

In that case, there should also be wizards from the Ghost School participating?

"Okay, I agree."

Wei En nodded noncommittally, "It's just that I don't know yet, what do I need to do during the party?"

"This is a private party, and you are not required to pay anything."

Franta hurriedly said: "However, according to the previous rules, everyone will exchange some experience on the path of wizards, or discuss the latest research that is currently concerned."

"I remember that the theme of the last gathering was proposed by the wizard from the occult school. It mainly discussed the methods of defense against the pollution of the red moon. It is very rare."

"Oh? Has there been any result of the discussion?" Wei En's eyes lit up. If there is a method other than the light of dawn, he is very interested.

"Um, not yet..." Franta was a little embarrassed, "The research sequence of Hongyue is too high, and even within the school, only a very small number of people participated."

"However, a Transcendent who often spends time at sea mentioned that on an island near the northern continent, there is no red moon hanging high all year round, which is very miraculous."

"Is there such a place?"

"I also heard him say this at the party. In fact, many people will never leave their schools throughout their lives."

Wei En nodded clearly. It sounds like this party is quite interesting, and it is what he needs right now. "What else?"

Franta: "Also, everyone trades something at every party."

"trade?"

"Yes, it can be era relics, knowledge, materials, or research results. It should be noted that most of the cases are barter, and gold pounds are not used for transactions."

Barter?
"Then I understand, I will prepare some gadgets in advance."

"I believe that with you joining us, this party will be even more exciting."

"Then, see you in two days."

Franta said respectfully, "Looking forward to your arrival."

Wei En took one last look at the tower, then exited the nightmare world, then opened the card box, and put the prepared potions into it one by one.

Watching the palm-sized head of the Nightmare Worm swallow dozens of bottles of potion in one go, I was really worried that it would be crushed and damaged during transportation.

There is no risk of broken bottles in this world...

But this time, apart from selling potions, what made him even more happy was the party invitation.

After coming to this world for so long, the only wizards he has come into contact with are two, one is the liaison officer of the Ministry of Intelligence, and the other is the ghost.

Well, the former disgusts him, the latter has already been killed by him...

I hope that this gathering will allow him to get some useful information, and at least establish a relationship with a ghost school wizard and maintain communication.

It didn't take long for Wayne to receive the money - a total of 105 gold pounds.

Originally, it could only be sold for about 92 gold pounds, but Franta would suddenly pay a % premium, which made him a lot more money.

In this way, including the remaining money, he had 172 gold pounds and 10 shillings.

"This is the wealth a wizard should have..."

Thinking about the previous few months of frugality to save enough to buy the 2 gold pounds for meditation, the gap is really too big.

After having the money, Wei En submitted an exchange application to the Apprentice Management Office of the Ghost School according to the previously planned list.

There are two defensive spells and four attack spells in total.The defensive spells are Bone Wall and Mental Shield.

Among the attack spells, two are spells of the undead system.

One of them is Shadow Coil, the spell used by Shadow Ognyan that can extend countless arms.

The reason why he chose this spell was mainly because he hoped to increase his control ability, and the effect of this spell was to trap the enemy in it, making it easier for him to attack.

The second is Undead Claw, which can summon a huge bone claw to attack the enemy.

The remaining two spells are both elemental spells of the Mystery School - Fireball and Lightning Bolt, which are extremely powerful spells that can be learned during the apprenticeship period.

Similarly, the rune patterns of these six spells have all been confirmed, and they are hexagram patterns that can be fused with the original runes of the god of death.

Wei En couldn't help sighing when he saw that there was less than 40 gold pounds left.

Whether these spells are powerful or not is not mentioned for the time being, but they are really expensive.

If he hadn't made the first pot of gold through the Secret Tune Department, and the potion he made was profitable enough, he might be the same as that phantom now, with no original offspring and few spells, right?

Fortunately, after this exchange, in a short period of time, he no longer lacks the means to fight.

For the next time, he only needs to study the runes step by step, and learn the knowledge of the mechanical school with Jerry's Codex, which is enough to deal with the subsequent battles.

After a while, a sound came from the blue and white box, and the exchanged spell arrived.

Wei En didn't waste any time. After taking out the parchments, he began to draw runes in an orderly manner according to the previous steps, upgrade the rune level, and then fuse the original runes of death...

After the fusion of six spells, it was 4 o'clock in the morning.

Accompanied by the lightning and thunder outside the window, Wei En engraved these spells on the two original descendants of the ghost and the secret master one by one.

The rune marks on their foreheads increased by three respectively, which made the second driver's envious eyes straighten.

[You have successfully branded the Undead Claw Rune (Death God), learned the Undead Claw (Death God), level 1.Evaluation: The skeleton of a giant beast is considered a bone, right?Special rewards: Survival Point +8, Resilience Level +2, Spirit Level +2. 】

[Note 1: Undead Claw (Reaper) level 1, spirit consumption 10, effect: In the name of Reaper, summon a finger bone of the King of Skeletons deep in the undead world. 】

[Note 2: One phalanx attack of the King of Bones is as powerful as a captain-level 1 strike. 】

[Note 3: Each time you upgrade to a level, one phalange will be added, and the attack power will be superimposed as the level increases. 】

[You have successfully imprinted the spiritual shield rune (Reaper), learned Spiritual Shield (Reaper), level 1.Evaluation... Special reward: survival point +6, spirit level +3. 】

[Note 1: Level 1 Spiritual Shield (Reaper), Spirit Consumption 2, Effect: It can defend against attacks against the source, soul, and spirit. 】

[Note 2: ...]

【You succeeded...】

With Wei En's current spiritual level of nearly 200, it is not too difficult to imprint six spell runes at once.

However, the result of fusing the original runes of Death this time made him slightly disappointed.

Except for the upgrades of Undead Claw and Shadow Coil, which require 50 survival points, Fireball and Lightning Bolt even only need 20 points, which is the lowest upgrade requirement since he obtained the Death Rune.

Correspondingly, both Fireball and Lightning Bolt only added burst effects, without any other supernatural features.

It is equivalent to changing the two spells from a single attack to a group spell attack in addition to the high temperature and paralysis characteristics of the spell itself.

However, the attack power of elemental spells is still second. The most important thing is that these two spells can give Wayne more choices when facing high-defense Transcendents.

Just like Erno before, his long knife can chop bullets, but it is difficult for him to resist elemental spells such as fireballs or lightning bolts.

He couldn't ignore the high temperature of the fireball technique alone.

For the two defensive spells, Spirit Shield and Bone Wall, they only need 30 survival points to upgrade, which is quite satisfactory.

However, from the effect point of view, after the spiritual shield is amplified by the source rune of the god of death, the defense ability is more comprehensive, not only resisting spiritual attacks, but also attacks at the soul and source level.

As a defensive spell, bone wall also improves its defensive ability. Compared with the first level of fusion, it can summon 1 layers of bone walls... which is better than nothing.

"I didn't expect that the biggest gain would be the claws of the undead and the entanglement of shadows..."

The former can summon the phalanx of the King of Skeletons, and its initial power is comparable to a captain's strike. After upgrading, it can be superimposed and it is a very powerful attack spell.

The effect of the latter's shadow entanglement is to expand the range of the summoned shadow, and at the same time, the attacks of those ghost claws on the arms can be added with the death characteristic, which complements the musket attack.

After Wei En drank a bottle of enlightenment potion and recovered his mental strength, he added these spells to level two.

亡灵之爪（死神）1级（1/50），（2/50）……（50/50）。

[Claw of the Undead (God of Death) Level 1 (50/50), should it be improved? 】

【promote. 】

[Congratulations, your skill: Undead Claw (Death) has been upgraded from level 1 to level 2.Effect: In the name of the god of death, summon the two finger bones of the king of bones in the depths of the undead world. 】

[Congratulations, your skill: Shadow Coil (Death) has been upgraded from level 1 to level 2.Effect……】

【…】

[Congratulations, your skill: Corpse Explosion (Death) has been upgraded from level 2 to level 3.Effect……】

[Congratulations, your skill: Devouring spell has been upgraded from level 3 to level 4.Effect……】

"There are so many survival points, but there are less than 100 survival points left... To be precise, there are only 15 survival points left..."

This time, Wayne didn't save survival points.

In addition to upgrading the six newly learned spells to level 2, he also spent 900 survival points to upgrade the Corpse Explosion (Death) and Soul Devouring spells to one level each.

Ever since he tried the effect of the devouring spell last time, he has been thinking of raising the level of the devouring spell.

When he killed Ognyan that time, he gained 2 points of origin through devouring—it was too strong!

The same is true for the corpse explosion technique, the actual combat effect is astonishing.

After upgrading to level 3, not only the range of corpse explosions doubled, but also the speed of pollution with death characteristics increased a lot.

Wei En glanced at the panel for the last time, and he was only halfway from being promoted to an official wizard...

When, when...

"Its daybreak?"

Wei En recovered from the joy of his strength improvement, opened the curtains and saw that the red moon was gradually fading in the cloudy sky, but the sun did not rise as strangely as the red moon.

Sure enough, only the red moon is the most special...

"Praise the dawn."

Even though it was raining, the lamplighter in black robe still came on time.

While praising the greatness of the dawn, I carefully opened the lampshade of the street lamp to extinguish the candles inside, and cleaned up the lamp oil and wicks for easy lighting before nightfall.

At the same time, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, adding a breath of life to this silent world.

However, compared with the past, more people suffered misfortune last night.

In just the past 10 minutes, people with gauze wrapped around their heads knocked on the door of Morris Clinic, expecting this highly skilled doctor to treat them.

But unfortunately, compared to Euan, Carly is obviously not very good at medical skills.

Even the Dawn Belief spell she had learned was powerless against the damage of the deep-sea monsters, which disappointed those who came for help.

Wei En stood at the window, looked at the people outside, and murmured, "No one is desperate..."

Most of these people who came to seek treatment came calmly. After trying, although they were disappointed, none of them wailed or despaired.

He just shook his head and sighed, saying that he would try another place, then staggered towards the outside of the golden street.

What a group of strong people...

At this time, Claire's lazy voice came from behind, "Why, do you sympathize with them?"

"It's not about sympathy, it's just that it's strange how they react."

Wei En did not look back and stared at a petite woman at the end of the golden street.

She was one of the first to call for help at the Morris Clinic with a newborn baby in her arms.

Even if she couldn't see anything, even if she tripped over and over again, the baby wasn't hurt at all...

"This world is like this. What they need is not sympathy and pity, let alone some bullshit hope. The reality will tell them that to live is to hope."

Wei En tilted his head and glanced at her. Unlike before, there was something unclear in Claire's eyes.

"Perhaps... You should have been to many places. Are other city-states the same as here?"

Claire snorted: "Under the red moon, there is no escape."

"Well, I heard that there is a place where there is no red moon hanging high..."

"False, there is no such place in this world. Even if there is, it can only be the place of faith of the Red Moon Church."

Wei En nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that he should be more cautious when attending that party.

"You seem to be interested in these..."

[You are targeted by the killing intent of Claire Yuri Biondini (main body).Comments: Speak carefully.Reward: Survival Points +5. 】

"...as if I didn't say anything."

Wei En curled his lips secretly, she is really a sensitive, suspicious and fickle woman.

"Have you read the treasure book I gave you before?"

"I haven't had time yet..."

Claire gave him a sideways glance, "Although I have plenty of time, if you are perfunctory to me..."

"Today, I'll find time to take a look." Before she could finish speaking, Wei En immediately raised his hand and surrendered, "However, what exactly is recorded on it?"

"Part of the historical truth of the Third Era has been told to you before."

"Which part is that? You should know that there is a saying among wizards: 'Don't try to seek knowledge before the third era'?"

"How do I know? I don't know the words inside."

Claire rolled her eyes at him, turned and walked to the shadows aside, "I only know that if you don't complete it according to the contract, the end will not be too comfortable..."

"When I come back at night, I will bring you some delicious food, remember to save your stomach."

With that, she disappeared into the shadows of the room.

Not feeling well?

Wei En curled his lips, I hope you can still say this when I am promoted to an official wizard!
　There is still only one chapter today... I have written an outline of nearly words (the evidence has been posted in the group), and it will be much smoother later.

　　In addition, don't talk about my word count. I haven't posted the spell content, it's just a brief overview.
