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

Chapter 388 For the Great Lord
Castor City-State.

It was almost nightfall when the airship that Lacey was on entered the high wall.

She walked out of the airship platform and breathed a sigh of relief when she looked at the former Krims Cathedral which she had not seen for a long time.

"I'm finally back. If I go to Cland City-State again, I will... let myself be contaminated by the Red Moon and become a mutant!"

Lacey felt sick when she recalled her experiences in the city-state of Cland. The disgusting faces of those high-ranking officials of the Kingdom's Secret Investigation Department were even more disgusting than old Ernst's, making her want to punch them.

Arianna behind him carefully reminded, "Minister, please keep your voice down. There are nobles from the city-state of Cland over there."

"Would I be afraid of them?"

Lacey glared at him impatiently, raised her fist and hit him, snorting: "We're already in the city-state of Custer, can't I tell you the truth?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Arianna touched her head, wanting to cry but without tears.

He now finally understood what it felt like to investigate a team member before: not only was he violent, but he was also impatient.

This time in the city-state of Cland, if he hadn't stopped her, Lacey would have used violence to kick some bastard in the balls.

Oh, if only Marco was still here...then he would be the one being beaten by Lacey...

"Anyway, don't let me hear anything about the city-state of Cland again!"

"understand……"

After a while, the two of them left the airship station together.

"Minister, over there." Arianna glanced around and pointed at the figures opposite and said, "It's Deputy Director Yegor and his men."

Lacey looked across the street and saw Deputy Director Yegor Payne of the Secret Investigation Department and her brother Santiago Montoya, so she walked straight over.

"Hey," Yegor waved to the two of them from the stage, "Long time no see, Lacey."

"Minister Lacey, welcome back." Santiago greeted him seriously, without any feeling of family.

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you that if you have anything to say, you can talk about it in the company tomorrow when you get to work?" Lacey looked at them and frowned.

"It's not about the Secret Investigation Department." Yegor knew she was not in a good mood when he heard it, and waved his hand quickly, saying, "Santiago and I are going to visit the Speaker, and I came to pick you up."

"Visiting my father?" Lacey looked at Santiago with a slightly inquiring look. After seeing him nod, she continued, "Let's go. I'm hungry."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

As they spoke, the three of them walked towards the Natoli district one after another.

Arianna, who was behind them, looked at their backs, helplessly waved to stop a carriage and left with her suitcase.

He knew that there were no good people in the Secret Investigation Department. No one saw a living person like this...

……

Along the way, Lacey learned from Yegor and Santiago about the recent situation of the Caster city-state, and also learned the latest and most controversial news of the day.

——"The First Wizard Under Legend" Wayne Loft and the Black Pearl won the naval war.

"Wein is getting stronger and stronger. In just over a month, he has been able to kill a legendary transcendent on his own. It's really unimaginable." Yegor exhaled a puff of cigar smoke and said with some emotion.

"Ah."

Lacey felt a little heavy-hearted as she thought about Wayne's affairs.

She knew that it was not easy for extraordinary people to improve their strength, especially for those wizards who pursued "knowledge". She didn't know how much effort they would have to put in to grow to the legendary level.

It is a miracle in itself that a man of Wayne's age can achieve such brilliant achievements.

"Come to think of it, Wei En came back once some time ago." Yegor thought of his previous meeting with Wei En and smiled, "He came to Custer specifically to see you that time."

"He came back? Why didn't you tell me before?" Lacey was stunned.

Yegor shrugged. "You had just arrived in the city-state of Kland at that time, and I couldn't call you back."

"Did he say anything?"

"Not much, you know, I don't communicate with him that often."

Lacey's face looked a little unhappy. Thinking of how Wei En had come to see her and given her a batch of plants produced in the southern continent to purify the environment, she felt that Kland's group of top secret investigation officials were reborn.

Yegor saw her expression and was moved. He quickly comforted her, "I think he will come to Caster City-State again. If we didn't meet him this time, it will be the same next time."

Lacey glanced at him and said nothing.

Santiago next to him recalled the two times he had met Wayne.

One time was outside the property management department, when he used mental power to attack Wei En.

The second time was in the Basil Street area outside the port. At that time, he felt that Wayne's strength was extraordinary.

Not only him, but also the then Chief of the Combat Department and now Deputy Director Abbott was also very optimistic about Wayne and wanted to recruit him into the Combat Department.

"It would be great if he was still in the Secret Investigation Department. I believe that no one in Custer, no, in the entire Chatlan Kingdom, dares to mess with our Secret Investigation Department."

"Provoke?" Yegor chuckled. "Do you believe that now that he is here, the Kingdom will even move the headquarters of the Secret Investigation Department here?"

"Uh, that shouldn't be possible, right?"

"That's because you don't understand those hypocritical guys in the kingdom, and you don't know enough about Wei En's current strength and the Ghost School behind him."

Yegor looked at the street lights and knew that it was about to get dark, so he stopped talking and said, "Let's not talk about this, let's go to the Speaker's place."

"Uh-oh," Santiago agreed.

Lacey nodded indifferently and followed the two men calmly.

In fact, she didn't know much about the School of Ghostology.

To be precise, except for the wizards of the Spiritual Mystic School, other schools have little presence in the East Continent.

As a result, many people lack a true understanding of schools such as Ghost, Blood Spirit, Mechanical and Shadow, and only know that they are very powerful.

So how powerful is it?

No one can describe it accurately.

In a place like the city-state of Caster, extraordinary beings at the ruling level and the Hand of the Kingdom level are already top-notch existences, and the legendary level is almost invisible.

Therefore, when most people hear that some wizarding schools have more than a hundred legendary masters, they are not impressed.

But at this time, Lacey didn't care about Wei En's background. What she was thinking about was when would she meet Wei En next time and what the scene would be like.

Or, just give him two punches?

……

……

On the deathly calm sea, a gray island slowly moved towards the unknown endless sea.

The island was bare except for a two-story cottage in the center, with two withered oak trees on the left and right sides in front of it.

The bark of the tall tree trunks was dry, and at the bottom of the trunks, black carriages would occasionally emerge from the dark tree holes.

There was no other sound except the ringing sound of the pyramid hanging on the top of the carriage. In the house, three strange men with golden strips wrapped around their bodies stared outside with cold eyes.

"Suad failed."

"The Black Pearl won and the 'Emperor of the Sea' is still Isabel Clijsters."

"'The First Wizard Under Legend', hehe, if I remember correctly, he is the ghost wizard who blasphemed the Great Lord before, right?"

"Yes, Master Engelbert."

The man with the golden cloth in the middle, the leader of the Twilight Sect, Engelbert, nodded slightly and said:
"Then let them do it."

"grown ups……"

"That's the plan," Engelbert interrupted. "I know this won't be very effective, but our goal isn't him. We want to use him to divert the attention of the three schools of ghosts."

"I feel bad about Suade's failure this time. Let's make more preparations."

The founders next to them looked at each other, all looking a little surprised.

"Then, should we continue with the alchemy nodes in various locations? Now that the results at sea have been determined, creating a ritual in the name of the Araniga will attract the attention of others."

Alchemy nodes require slaughtering islands everywhere to create the sacrificial items needed for the alchemy array.

"Use deep-sea seeds." Engelbert knew this too.

Before, they could use the Alaniga as a cover, but now that Suade is dead, the pirates have to hide, and they can no longer do so.

Once those nodes are discovered by the wizarding school, the entire ritual will be affected.

"And most importantly, we must draw the attention of Salvatore and others to this island. Silent Island must not be discovered by them!"

"I have already had someone spread the news," one of the founders murmured, "According to the latest news, they are already on their way."

"Not enough," Engelbert shook his head and said, "The Mystical Tower is not still on that island, which means they are not the main force coming."

"Then what are you going to do?"

“The Aldous have a saying – the truth lies on the stage!”

Engelbert's eyes, hidden under the golden cloth, narrowed slightly. "As long as the drama is real enough, they will believe it."

"Notify the gravediggers and mystics to come directly to this island after returning from Alexei Island."

"You, you are planning to..."

"For the coming of the Great Master, anything can be sacrificed, including you and me."

“But if something goes wrong during the final ceremony…” The founders wanted to refuse.

This place is fake in the first place. It was only made to delay the wizards' preparations. It seems unnecessary to make such a huge sacrifice.

Engelbert turned his head and looked at him. After a long silence, he said coldly, "From now on, you are me."

"..."

The founder paused under the cloth, then looked out the window and said, "Since the adults have made the decision, I fully support it."

"Make sure they believe that they have captured all the top leaders of the Twilight Cult!"

Engelbert ignored their thoughts, and after saying this, he disappeared.

"Everything is for the great master..."

……

……

At this time, Wayne didn't care about the plans of the Twilight Sect.

Taking advantage of the night, he returned to the castle on Alexei Island and saw that the office was full of people.

"you……"

Wayne looked at the ruling team on the island headed by Mitra, the clergy of the Church of Storms headed by Eve, and the people of the Church of Dawn headed by Xizi, and asked with a strange expression:

"Is today a special day?"

The people in front of him were indeed the ones he was familiar with, but they were all dressed in their best at night.

Mitra smiled charmingly: "We know that the master is coming back, we are waiting for you here."

She was wearing a purple long skirt with floral shapes outlined in gold thread. Her plump chest was cut out in tulle, revealing deep cleavage, which was very eye-catching.

The hem of the long skirt drags on the ground below the slender waist, but there is a triangular slit in the front. The white and plump thighs are overlapped, and a hint of black can be vaguely seen.

"I see." Wayne touched his nose, turned his gaze towards the others, and said with a smile, "It seems that the news about Wojciech Island has spread."

Compared to Mitra, Old Jack Ubley is much more normal.

Well, the two saints, Xizi and Eve, were not badly dressed, and there was just a hint of enthusiasm in their expressions.

It is worth mentioning that Tina and Pavla are not here at the moment, and no one knows where they went.

"Yes, 'The First Wizard Under Legend', Master, your new title is good, isn't it?"

Ok?
The first wizard under the legend?

Wayne was stunned. This name made him think of the legend of Salvatore - the first legendary wizard under demigod.

It seems those people really don't have any creativity with names.

"Wizard Wayne," Eve also complimented, "You helped the Black Pearl win the naval war this time and attracted the attention of the entire sea area. You deserve such a reputation."

“I believe that once you are promoted to the legendary level, your achievements will not be lower than that of the legendary Salvatore.”

"Uh," Wayne was stunned. How could the 'Free' Saint of the Storm Church be praised like this?
"I believe this, too." Xizi rarely agreed.

She looked at Wei En and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Remember the last time she and the "Judgment" Saint Celestia Eddas came here, she was able to defeat Wayne easily.

Unexpectedly, in just a short period of time, he was like a gift from God, and he killed so many legendary extraordinary people by himself...

To achieve such a record, even she would have to rely on authority and might, and might even have to ask for the projection of a great god to descend.

"Master, you don't know that after the news came, the people on the whole island cheered." Mitra gritted his teeth, glanced at the two shameless fairies next to him, and quickly flattered: "We are the same..."

"Okay, it's just a small thing." Wei En raised his eyebrows, but waved his hand to signal them to talk about something else.

Others may not know, but he himself knows it clearly.

It is true that he killed the extraordinary person from the Glory Society, but Suad cannot be blamed on him.

Saying that he is "the greatest wizard under legend" is somewhat exaggerated.

"Where are Tina, Pavla and the others?"

PS: Thanks to Qi Feilan and Li Murong SNS for the rewards, thank you very much!
