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

Chapter 459 Meeting old friends
After the "Deep Sea Apocalypse", the newly rebuilt city-state of Caster was rebuilt again.

Although unfortunate, this is the truth.

Fortunately, the group of pirates arranged by Wayne did not leave immediately after resisting the tsunami, but participated in the reconstruction and transformed the entire Basil Street District into the appearance that the pirates loved most.

As a result, the port of Custer became the most popular port for pirates on the west coast of the East Continent, with a constant stream of ships coming and going.

Whether it is a pirate ship flying the flag of the "Black Pearl" or a merchant ship from an ocean-going trading family from various continents, they all like to dock here, bringing rich taxes to the city-state of Caster.

of course.

The reason for all this, besides the famous Basil Street pub street and the hot girls, is Wayne.

With the tacit approval of Archon Sir Montoya, Wayne's deeds of saving the city-state of Caster were publicized, vaguely changing the city-state's ownership from the Kingdom of Chatlant to a place like Alexi Island.

In fact, since the "Deep Sea Doomsday", the crew members sailing in the Cordo Sea are not unfamiliar with the name of the "Disaster Wizard" Wayne Loft.

His reputation is no less than that of the "Black Pearl" and the "Emperor of the Sea" Isabello Clijsters, and even far exceeds that of the "Emperor of the Sea" in the circle of extraordinary people.

Especially the "God's Descent" and "God-Slaying" above the deep sea that day, countless people saw the fierce battle between Wayne and McAllister.

Although afterwards, the "True Church" and the "True Lord" McAllister Loft, as well as the "Lord of Killing" Celent appeared on Alexei Island.

But it does not affect the fame of "Disaster Wizard" Wayne Loft in the Cordo Sea.

Almost forgot.

Now the sailors no longer call him the "Disaster Wizard", but the "God Killer" Wizard Wayne Loft!

"Tsk tsk tsk, 'God Slayer' Wizard Wayne, what do you think?"

McAllister heard the faint praises around him and blinked mischievously.

Wei En thought seriously for a few seconds and said, "If I achieve the demigod crown, should I change this title?"

"..."

McAllister took it as a joke.

Well, very bad black humor.

He knew very well that once Wei En achieved the demigod crown, the entire Primordial Continent would change.

Just think about what would happen to those gods who only control one country when they meet the demigod Wei En?
I would probably do the same as him - worship him.

If he didn't do that, he believed Wayne wouldn't mind casting a few spells to let them feel "what despair is"!
"No kidding," Wayne glanced at him and said, "I have some things to take care of. You are free to move around."

McAllister accepted the offer gladly and expressed his sincerest gratitude.

"As great as you are, you finally remembered that your poor servant has not taken care of the girls' business for a long time."

"Of course," Wayne pointed to the church in the distance and said, "You can go there and talk to Ms. Morien. I think she will be very happy to see you, a familiar 'guest'."

McAllister was startled, and the smile on his face turned bitter: "You are indeed a great master."

"Tell her that I will visit her at midnight tonight. I hope she can show up in the city-state of Caster by then." Wayne said seriously.

"As you wish." McAllister bowed.

And when Wei En's figure disappeared, he suddenly realized, He?
"Ms. Bertolis, the Storm Lady? Great Wizard Wayne, you really think highly of me..."

McAllister sighed helplessly.

He is just a poor newly promoted "Lord of Truth" and is still a long way from being a true god like "Lady Storm".

"I hope He will agree. Otherwise... I will have no choice but to demolish the Krims Cathedral myself."

……

Three years later, the Secret Investigation Department of the Caster City-State has become the most powerful supernatural organization besides the Church of Storms.

After the "Deep Sea Doomsday", Nefa Letitia Ellis resigned from the position of director due to lack of ability and lived a peaceful life. Deputy Director Yegor Paynden was appointed as director.

And Lacy, the head of the Investigation Department, was promoted to the position of deputy director of the Secret Investigation Department because of his performance in "Deep Sea Doomsday".

This is not over yet.

Yegor, that eccentric bastard (according to Lacy herself), remained eccentric even after becoming the director of the Secret Investigation Department.

He would avoid meetings, big or small, if possible. If he couldn't, he would let the newly promoted deputy director, Laixi, go on his behalf.

The euphemism is - training a successor to the Director of the Secret Investigation Department!
Therefore, after taking office, Lacy was almost in the role of acting director, fully responsible for all affairs of the Secret Investigation Department.

So much so that she almost took revenge and united her father, the Archon of the City-State, to remove Director Yegor from his position.

In the end, it was Nifa who stepped in to mediate and persuaded her for a long time, finally making her give up the idea and devote herself to her new identity and position.

During that time, Lacey made a series of changes.

Including the organizational structure, personnel structure, and salary of the Secret Investigation Department, it has attracted a large number of "rookie" investigators to join.

Some of them were descendants of nobles from the city-state of Caster, and more of them were big pirates arranged by Wayne.

With the addition of these extraordinary people, who are generally above the "Hand of the Kingdom" level, the public security in the city-state of Caster has increased exponentially.

Ordinary followers of the evil god would be taken to prison by these ferocious investigators even if they just approached the city-state's high walls. As a result, for a long time, the only job of the Secret Investigation Department was to deal with the deformities of the residents.

For this reason, Sir Weiss, the head of the city guard, even approached Governor Montoya and accused the investigators of the Secret Investigation Department of overreaching and stealing their jobs.

But Lacey continued to do her own thing until two months ago, when she officially succeeded to the position of director of the Secret Investigation Department and began to restrain herself a little.

Marco flicked the tricorn hat on his head that represented the captain's identity. It was made of brown, textured matte leather, and in the center was the logo of the "Black Pearl" - the image of the deep-sea monster Rasim.

He struck a few poses that he thought looked handsome.

The black vest on his body was wide open, revealing his strong muscles that were tanned into a bronze color, bulging with his movements.

"How's it going, Lacey?"

"The person standing in front of you now is not Marco Nascimento, the investigator of the Secret Investigation Department, but the captain of the Lancers of the Black Pearl, the new captain of the Solomon, and the overlord of the East Sea, Marco 'Red Hair' Nascimento!"

boom!
Lacey's response was as direct as ever, with a well-timed fist hitting him on the head.

"hiss!"

Marco took a breath, but his first reaction was not to cry out in pain, but to protect his tricorn hat, the symbol of the captain.

After carefully confirming that the hat was in good condition, he looked at Lacey with resentment: "Mr. New Director of the Secret Investigation Department, could you please pay attention to your identity?"

Lacey snorted, glanced at him and said, "My identity is your former minister, Investigator Marco."

"..."

Marco's eyes became even more resentful, and his red hair drooped down as if it had lost its vitality.

He looked at the cocked hat in his hand and felt like crying but had no tears.

It seems that he, the captain of the "Black Pearl" that roams the Cordoba Sea, is still worthless in Lacey's eyes.

Mosquera and the others who followed him not far away all looked like they wanted to laugh but dared not. They were all people who followed Marco to sea, and grew up in the city-state of Caster. They all knew how terrifying Lacey, the noble lady from the Montoya family, was.

Therefore, they were not surprised to see Marco being humiliated.

But even after so much time had passed, especially after Marco had grown up through the deep-sea experience, they could still see his angry but speechless expression, which made them feel as if they had returned to the past.

"Assholes, laugh if you want to, otherwise you will suffocate to death." Marco glared at them.

Mosquera said with a smile, "Captain, do you remember what you said before arriving at Custer?"

Marco thought it was bad, and just when he wanted to tell him to shut up, he saw him hiding behind the sofa and laughing:

"You said you would make Captain Lacy tremble in fear, huh? The 'red-haired' captain who roams the Cordo Sea?"

"...You bastards, I..."

Marco was about to curse a few words, but suddenly paused. A chill on his back made his body tremble uncontrollably. He turned his head stiffly to look at Lacey, and his expression instantly turned into mournful.

"Lai, Lacey, listen to me, red hair is not..."

"You want to tell me that Captain 'Red Hair' is not you?"

Lacey smiled very gently, with her hands folded across her chest. Her red, straight secret service uniform was held up very majestically by the pair of pendant bells.

"That's right, the 'red-haired' is not me, it's Wei En! Yes, it's that kid Wei En, he, he..."

Marco said this confidently, but he caught a glimpse of a figure suddenly appearing behind Lacey, and the words on his lips were instantly stuck.

"Wei, Wei En... Wei En?!"

boom!
Lacey hit him on the head with a hammer again and snorted:

"What Wei En? You are just taking advantage of Wei En's absence to pin your own actions on him."

"No, no, no, that's not it..." Marco covered his head and pointed behind her: "It's really Wizard Wayne!"

Mosquera and the others also saw the smiling young wizard in black wizard robes, and hurriedly stood up and saluted:

"Good day, Wizard Wayne!"

"If you dare to lie to me, you'll be dead!"

As she spoke, Lacey turned around and looked, her brown eyes slightly widened, reflecting Wayne's smiling face.

"Wayne..."

"Long time no see, Lacey," Wayne smiled and waved, then looked at the stunned Marco and said, "And our Mr. 'Red Hair' who is rampant in the Cordo Sea."

"Wayne, hahahaha...it's really you!"

Marco rushed over, gave him a bear hug, and laughed.

Lacey came back to her senses, a smile appeared on her face, she walked straight forward, pulled Marco away and threw him to Mosquera and others.

Without waiting for Wei En to say anything, Lacey opened her arms and hugged Wei En, saying with a smile: "Welcome back, Wei En."

It was not until this moment that she realized that Wei En, who was originally shorter than her, had forced her to lie on his shoulders.

Wayne paused, put his arm around her back, patted her, and said with a smile, "Congratulations on your promotion to director, Lacey."

Lacey leaned on his shoulder and shook her head, repeating "welcome back" twice.

After a few seconds, she stood up and took a step back, looking Wei En up and down, and then she smiled broadly and said:
"Wai En, I haven't seen you for so long. You've grown so tall and are more handsome than before."

Wayne chuckled. This was the Lassie he was familiar with.

"What about me?" Marco came over and asked aggrievedly, "Lacey, haven't I become more handsome?"

"You?" Lacey glanced at him sideways: "You are as ugly as a bell ringer."

Marco: "..."

Mosquera and the others laughed unkindly, but only for two seconds before they stopped, looking at Wayne intentionally or unintentionally, with a hint of restraint on their faces.

Today, they are no longer the descendants of the "evil" nobles in the city-state of Castor, but crew members of the "Solomon" under the Black Pearl.

After experiencing the Twilight Sect, the Deep Sea Monster, the Deep Sea Doomsday and the "War of God Killing", they have come to regard Wei En as a "legendary wizard" in their hearts, no longer the former investigator of the Secret Investigation Department of the Caster City-State.

Of course, it's not just them.

Inside the Black Pearl, Black Jack, Euan and other people who were familiar with Wayne had warned them more than once - not to clash with Alexei Island in the deep sea!

In fact, there is no need for them to warn. Today, no one in the Cordo Sea dares to challenge Alexi Island. Both the "Real Sect" and the "Desire Sect" attached to Alexi Island can move freely on the sea.

At the same time, the "God Killer" wizard Wayne, the governor of Alexi Island Mitra, as well as "Iron-faced" Old Jack, "Messenger Bird" Ubli Diomand and others also became famous in the Cordo Sea.

Many times, Lothilia, who was in charge of communication between the Black Pearl and Alexei Island, had to control her temper.

You have to know that this is "Iron Hammer" Lothilia, whose temper is one of the most violent in the entire Cordo Sea.

But surprisingly, Mitra was even more irritable.

Especially when Wizard Wayne was not present, all affairs on Alexei Island were handled by Mitra, causing many pirates who had stayed on the island to spread her name - "Black Widow" Mitra!

After the greetings, Lacey poured a few glasses of red wine for the group and asked with a smile, "Wai En, how many more days will you stay in the city-state this time?"

Marco agreed, "Yes, Wayne, if possible, I also hope Tina can come, and Carly."

After all, the distance between Alexei Island and the city-state of Castor is nothing to Wayne.

Wayne nodded: "I do need to stay here for a few days."

Lacey and Marco looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

"But please don't show me around Custer."

Wayne thought of the time when Dean Qiao Sue took him to visit the von Enrissow Institute one by one, and subconsciously reminded him.

"Of course, of course..."

Although she said this, Lacey contacted her father that day and informed the Parliament, the Noble Committee and the Storm Church of Wayne's arrival in Custer.

Marco even contacted the current person in charge of the City That Never Sleeps, intending to take Wayne back to visit the old place.

Wei En was in a state of confusion, but he didn't take it too seriously.

He doesn't have many friends, but Lacey and Marco are definitely among them. Just treat it as a vacation and leisure in the city-state of Caster.

As Lacey led Wayne to the Natoli neighborhood, McAllister's voice came to his ears:

"Wizard Wayne, Ms. Morien is on her way here. She hopes to meet you at six o'clock."

Wei En replied calmly: "Ten o'clock."

No one can disturb his dinner with Lacey and others, not even "Ms. Storm" Bertolis!
