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

Chapter 31
A collection of beliefs?

Wayne is no stranger to the word faith.

Most of the city-states of Castor are believers of the Church of Dawn or the Church of Storms, and the light of dawn and the sea of ​​storms are their beliefs.

The collection, refers to the surrounding area?

This should be what Lacey and the others said, the missionary place of the Eternal Life Society!

Wayne frowned and looked at the panel. These mysterious things were the most annoying to him. They were all his knowledge blind spots.

However, after seeing the gains on the panel, his mood became slightly more balanced.

Even, he was still thinking, what would happen if he shot the shadow just now?
Maybe it’s no longer just eyes assisting?

Give it a try next time!
Then Wei En glanced at the current attributes and found that the spirit level had exceeded level 25.

There is one more thing, the partner contract-the calamity species.

Is Tina's talent the ability to heal herself?
Wei En thought of the battle scene just now, that dark perspective, called Tina Vision...

Is it the world in her eyes?

In the darkness of nothingness, only the people around you are emitting light, and the others are black silhouettes?
If that's the case, it's too sad.

"Wayne?"

Wei En came back to his senses and looked at Lacey's concerned eyes, "What's wrong?"

"Are you all right?"

"No," Wei En quickly waved his hand, "With you and Captain Arianna here, I believe everything will be fine."

"You're absolutely right,"

Ariana came over and said proudly: "It doesn't matter who or what the Eternal Life Society is, as long as I'm here..."

boom!
Lacey punched him in the face, "Save these words to those who lie to you two."

Ariana staggered after being hammered, covered her face and glared at her: "Lacie!!"

"Ok?"

"I mean, when will you continue?"

Arianna shouted in shame: "People from the Eternal Life Society dare to preach here, I can't wait to destroy them."

Wayne: "..."

Well done, Captain Ariana.

Use the cruelest tone and shout the most cowardly words, which is very good.

"Now."

Lacey looked to the other side, "Marco, let the city guards handle this. It's time for us to set off."

"it is good,"

Marco dropped the body in his hand and laughed at the city guards: "Brother Guisepp, I'll leave it to you guys here. I have to go on a mission with the commander."

"Well, don't forget what you said before. We have been waiting for your cocktail party for a long time."

"Shh!"

Marco quickly covered his mouth, turned his head to meet Lacey's cold eyes, and said with a smile: "Sir, he, he was joking."

Lacey snorted, "Get out of here!"

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked deeper into the Laos block.

Now is not the time to worry about these things, let him know how good he is after we go back.

This time, there is no Tina's contract to help him recover from his injuries...

"Come on, come on."

Marco let go of the city guard in his hand, trotted over, and muttered in a low voice, "It's over, it's over, it's dead, it's all the fault of Guisep."

Wayne waited for him to arrive before following Lacey and the others together.

And Tina was the same as before, grabbing the corner of his clothes with her small hands, unwilling to leave even one step.

Wei En hasn't figured out how to deal with her relationship yet, so he can only let her follow like this first.

"Brother Marco, sister Lacey probably won't do anything to you here, but it's hard to say after you go back."

"Actually, you don't have to remind me so kindly,"

Marco glanced at him resentfully, based on his understanding of Lacey, such a thing is very likely to happen...

But this kind of emotion was only for a short while, and soon he put a smile on his face again, and asked narrowly: "The battle just now didn't scare you, did it?"

"No,"

Wei En shook his head, "I just felt a little surprised. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing on my first mission."

"The people of the Eternal Life Society have indeed not seen it for a long time."

"Who are they?"

"A group of madmen, a group of madmen who long for 'eternal life',"

Marco thought of the records of the Eternal Life Society in the Secret Investigation Department, and said fearfully: "There are many weird cases in our investigation department that cannot be investigated clearly, and it was found out afterwards that they were responsible."

Longing for eternal life?
Wei En said thoughtfully: "The parchment translated in the morning has the name of the Eternal Life Society. It must have been a long time since the third era, right?"

"I'm not sure about this. The change of the era has erased many traces. Perhaps only the giants like the Church of Dawn have relevant records."

The ghost school should also have it.

Wei En remembered that in the handbook distributed by the previous school, there was a piece of advice left by the third era.

【knowledge is power!But remember, when you chase knowledge, knowledge chases you! (In the 138th year of the Third Age, the wizard Liszt, the founder of the Ghost School, stayed.)] (Chapter 3)
The School was founded in the Third Era, and presumably there are records of what happened during that time.

If you have a chance, ask someone from the school.

"What about Claire?"

"A relatively active and dangerous person in the Eternal Life Society,"

Marco rarely showed a serious expression on his face, "I heard that she has been active in the Clander city-state before, which made the secret department over there lose face."

"It is said that no one has ever seen his real appearance, but only knows that her ability is very strange, and she can transform into anyone's figure and appearance."

"I didn't expect that she would come to Custer. I'm afraid the Secret Adjustment Department will be very busy next..."

The city-state of Clander is the capital of the Kingdom of Chatland.

To be able to wreak havoc in that place, the strength of this person must be terrifying.

No wonder Lacey and the others went all out at the beginning of the battle.

Wei En understood, and sighed, "So that's how 'Thousand Faces' came about..."

Marco comforted: "Don't worry too much. Now that we know she's coming to Custer, there will always be a way to deal with her."

With the strength of their secret investigators, they are not afraid of a thousand-faced Claire, it's just very tricky.

At this time, Lacey in front stopped and said, "Arianna, try here and find a way to find the gathering place where the Eternal Life Society is hidden in Laos."

Arianna looked around, "Here, the decaying atmosphere of the Immortal Society is even stronger."

"let's start."

"it is good."

While they were talking, Wei En and the others followed, standing behind them and looking around.

Wei En didn't smell the rotten breath from Arianna's mouth, he only felt that this place was ten times colder than the previous place.

In addition, compared to the dilapidated buildings outside, this place is very well preserved.

It's just that in the dim environment, it looks more eerie and quieter.

Wayne looked up at the sun above his head, and then glanced at the gloomy scene around him.

I couldn't help but have a strange thought in my mind: It would be difficult for the experts and professors in the previous life to explain the scene in front of me, right?
"Simon, Phantom, Hein, Hoefen..."

At this time, Arianna clasped his hands together and sang loudly again, "Seth Budda, Krillang..."

changed?

Oath, the great guardian spirit - the heroic spirit of the Holmes family, I ask for your guidance to find...

Hearing him singing praises, Wei En was afraid to look at him directly.

Ariana's whole body was seen swelling again, but this time it was not his head, but his limbs.

Tentacles pierced through his clothes, wriggling and waving non-stop.At the end of each tentacle, there is an open eye, exploring the surroundings.

Sure enough...it was this ghostly look again.

"No matter how many times I watch it, it's hard for me to accept,"

Marco also looked at Arianna with disgust, "Fortunately, our family's blood inheritance is not like this, otherwise I would definitely choose to become an ordinary person."

Wayne nodded in agreement, "It's not easy for Captain Arianna. When I saw him like this before, I thought he was deformed."

"Those deformities are indeed similar to his abilities, of course they are more crazy and terrifying."

"You two!"

Arianna stared back at them, "Can you lower your voice when you speak ill of me behind my back?"

"..."

Wayne and Marco quickly shut up and leaned towards Lacey.

I'm really worried that the captain of the second department suddenly went crazy and rushed towards them...

After waiting for a long time, Arianna pointed to a three-story building in the deepest part, and said, "Where, where is the strongest breath, Lacey?"

"Go and have a look."

Lacey held the two-handed ax again, and walked in the direction he pointed first.

Several people also took out their weapons and followed.

Only then did Wayne know that the weapon Marco used was a staff.

The top of the black twisted wooden body is not the gemstone seen in the previous game, but a lantern hanging on it, lighting up the surrounding darkness.

The look of the staff is very aesthetically pleasing, but with Marco's look... it's funny.

It would be more reasonable if he was wearing a black robe.

"Brother Marco, when you came to investigate yesterday, didn't you come here before?"

Marco shook his head, "Tina and I only investigated on the periphery, and found nothing later, so I asked Tina to use Spirit Vision to find..."

"and many more!"

Arianna behind him suddenly said, "Not over there, over here, Lacey."

He pointed to a slightly dilapidated house on the right, his eyes full of suspicion.

"Ok?"

Lacey came to him in a flash, looked at the house, frowned and said, "Arianna, you don't feel wrong, do you?"

From the outside, the house looked inconspicuous compared with the tall buildings around it.

"The heroic spirits found something special there, and I really want to go and have a look."

Arianna looked at the tentacles around her, frowned and said, "But they're sure that it's not the breath left by immortality, it's very strange."

"Go, go in and have a look."

Lacey didn't think much, and walked over with an ax in hand, kicked open the door and rushed in.

Marco reminded, "Keep up."

Wei En nodded, clenched the gun in his hand, and followed Tina carefully.

When they entered the house, Lacey, who was walking in the front, had already gone up to the second floor and was hacking a locked iron door with a two-handed axe.

And the tentacles all over Ariana's body stretched straight towards the iron door the moment they entered the house, and even dragged him and rushed over.

"Hey? Slow down, eh?!"

After a glance, Marco warned, "Wayne, you wait downstairs, I'll follow and have a look."

"Ah."

Knowing his strength, Wei En couldn't help much in the past, so he simply took Tina and stayed where he was.

He looked at the house. The space was not large and everything could be seen at a glance.

The stucco on the walls has long faded, exposing mottled masonry, and there are often cracks on the wall, and a bleak photo hangs on it.

He went over and wiped the dust off the photo. It was a family of three, a boy, a girl and a girl.

But compared to a photo of members he saw in the logistics department, this photo was in black and white.

What's more concerning is that the expressions of these three people are... very serious?

Not even the little girl in the middle had any smile on her face.

Wayne looked away and looked around.

The furniture in the house is very simple, an old wooden bed is placed in the corner, and there is an alarm clock beside the bed, but the hands have stopped turning.

The floor was paved with old tiles, covered with heavy dust.

On the other side of the room are some clutter.

A simple table was filled with messy items, and some empty bottles and old newspapers were piled up in the corner.

The glass on the windows has been temporarily repaired, and the sunlight that comes in has a faint glow.

It was obvious that no one had lived here for a long time.

And with the intrusion of these people, the small room seemed extremely crowded, giving people a feeling of suffocation and depression.

At this time, a dark red message flashed in Wei En's mind.

[You stepped into an unknown place of faith storage, because your spiritual level is greater than level 20, you successfully resisted the erosion of the power of despair.Evaluation: Very good, commendable courage.Special reward: survival point +3, spirit level +1. 】

A place of faith?

Before he could open his mouth to remind him that something was wrong here, he heard a "bang" sound from upstairs.

The iron door was opened?
Wei En looked up, and saw a black breath rushing out from there.

"It's the power of despair! Lacey!" Ariana shouted angrily.

Lacey raised his ax with both hands, "Cool and De!" (Shield Guard!)
Marco also quickly waved his staff, and the light on the lantern flashed, "Rashid, Roman..." (Broken Wind.)
Wind blades shot out one after another, cutting and splitting the black energy.

The black aura did not sweep over them, but instead seemed to have discovered a more delicious target, and a puff of smoke rushed down directly.

"damn it!"

Lacey swept over to Wayne and Tina downstairs, cursed, and jumped down.

Wei En subconsciously raised his gun and fired at the rushing black breath, "Bang!"

A flash of fire flashed, and the imaginary picture of energy dissipating did not appear.

Those black breaths rushed towards his face and rushed straight into his body.

What the fuck?

what's going on?
PS: Thanks for the reward from the big guy who is obsessed with chemistry, thank you!
