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

Chapter 461 Pressure!

Bertolis looked at the quiet city-state of Caster under the red moon. She had her hair combed behind her head and wore a circle of sapphire hair accessories. Her appearance was not particularly beautiful, but she had a graceful and elegant temperament.

She was like a noble lady in a classical oil painting, smiling faintly, but there was no smile in her eyes, only a dark blue vortex like the abyss.

She sat there, bathing in the origin of the storm, as if she were the center of the world.

McAllister, who was standing next to him, was most touched. The "real" country was warning him.

The "real" kingdom, which had already been weakened due to its separation from the "Sun God" Celerent, was still as fragile as a baby in front of Bertolis, even though it was His real incarnation.

McAllister sat upright, his tall and strong body allowing him to look down at Bertolis, but his eyes did not move downwards, but instead glanced upwards implicitly.

Faintly, he saw two silk threads extending upward from behind Bertolis's head and disappearing into the void under the church dome.

One of the threads twisted and turned like lightning, and would flash occasionally.

The other thread became almost invisible, circling upwards like a wisp of green smoke.

But what McAllister saw the most was the "green smoke". Deep in his pupils, this seemingly harmless "green smoke" was filled with tiny storm tornadoes.

It is inconspicuous, yet it contains vast energy.

"Is this the Kingdom of Storms?"

"This is the 'Lord of Storms and Thunder', 'Master of the Deep Sea' Bertolis... What a terrifying... god!"

Although Bertolis has not yet ascended the throne of the third kingdom, nor has she been crowned as an “ancient god”, He has existed in the original world for too long, long enough for Him to condense the original power of the two kingdoms into substance.

This can be seen from the fact that the Church of Storm possesses no less authority than the Church of Dawn.

"Does it look good?"

Bertolis's eyes were still fixed on the Natoli district in the distance. She saw the figure of the young wizard in black wizard robes through the obstacles, but she did not ignore the "Lord of Reality" beside her.

"nice."

McAllister grinned. This was not going against his conscience. Bertolis's appearance could be called "absolutely beautiful" even if she was placed in the tavern streets on the islands in the Cordo Sea.

But compared to the two origins of the kingdom behind her head, her appearance is just an embellishment.

The more powerful the origin of a transcendent being, the more he can feel that invisible pressure.

A righteous god like McAllister who owns a kingdom can feel even more insignificant.

“Someone once praised me like this.”

Bertolis's eyes turned, reflecting McAllister's figure and asked with a smile:

"Guess who it is?"

Several figures flashed through McAllister's mind. He had a lot of memories from the "Sun God" Celent, many of which were about the other four gods. He was definitely familiar with Bertolis.

There are not many people who can have a good personal relationship with "Storm Lord" Bertolis, and even fewer men.

Among them are the founder of the Turing Empire, the father of "Lady Disaster" - Carol Leonard, and the righteous god "Lord of War" worshipped by the Church of War, Frederick Hoyle.

"Kaylor or Frederick?"

"Neither." Bertolis held her chin with one hand, her eyes no longer looking at McAllister, but at the red moon in the night sky, and said calmly:

"It's Lilith, 'Lady of the Night'."

McAllister was stunned for a moment, chuckled a few times and said nothing.

The person who compliments you on your beauty is an ancient god, and a lady at that. Who the hell could have imagined that?
It's so difficult for the new god, right?
Bertolis's mature and charming face showed some confusion, and asked:
"You have Celente's memories. Are there any contents about the 'Lady of the Night' among them?"

"There are a few...but what do you want to know?"

"The secret of the disappearance of 'Lady of the Night' in the Third Age!"

"I don't know." McAllister shook his head and said, "Salernt disappeared almost at the same time as Ms. Lilith. He doesn't know why Lilith disappeared."

In fact, after Celerent was attacked by "Lord of the Dawn" Orpheus and Bertolis and almost died, Celerent floated in the "Clothes of the World" for a long time.

If the real McAllister hadn't found him and tried to devour his kingdom, he might never have awakened from his slumber until now.

When he got to know the original world again through McAllister, it was already the middle and late Fourth Era, which was also the time when the Dark Empire of the Western Continent was rekindled.

At that time, Celent was also confused by the disappearance of "Lady of the Night" Lilith.

Bertolis continued, "Some people say that Lilith was surrounded and killed by many powerful 'Source Souls' outside the 'World Clothes'."

"Some also say that He chose to fall into a deep sleep due to some kind of danger, hoping to wake up again."

"But everyone agrees that he was betrayed by the righteous god under his command - yes, it was 'Lady Red Moon' Natalia."

Bertolis paused for a few seconds and turned her head to look at McAllister: "Which statement do you believe?"

McAllister thought seriously for two seconds and said in a deep voice: "It's possible."

The silent disappearance of an ancient god is no small matter, nor is it an easy thing - just like him, he had to fight with "Lady Disaster" first, and then Orpheus and Bertolis would find an opportunity.

"There are too many secrets in this world. Lilith's disappearance is not an isolated case. There are also several ancient gods who were active before the Third Era. Many of them disappeared without a trace."

Bertolis nodded without comment.

She was also aware of this. With memories spanning four eras, many familiar names had long since disappeared in the long river of time, and several ancient gods were no longer even mentioned by the world.

"When someone falls, someone else rises."

"Wizard Wayne is the one who has risen the fastest in the past two eras."

"Yeah..." McAllister smiled.

"So, I'm curious about why he came here specifically?"

"This……"

"Let me answer your question, Ms. Bertolis."

Before McAllister could respond, Wayne's figure quietly appeared in the tower on top of the ancient church.

"Wizard Wayne." McAllister stood up and saluted.

Wayne waved his hand, indicating that he could move around on his own in the Caster City-State: "The drinks in Basil Street are pretty good."

"I'll go and taste it right away."

McAllister left tactfully and set up a kingdom origin that separated reality from "truth" and enveloped the Krims Cathedral, leaving only Wayne and Bertolis.

Bertolis looked at the young wizard, smiled, stood up, pinched the hem of her skirt, and bowed:
"Good night, Wizard Wynn."

Wayne protected his chest with one hand, nodded and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting." The Montoya family's dinner went very smoothly, allowing him to end his trip early and exchange views with the nobles of the Caster city-state on the construction of the city-state.

When he learned that he was going to meet with the righteous god of the Storm Church, even the smug Archon Montoya almost fainted, and almost begged Lacey in a pleading tone to let Wayne leave first.

After all, these nobles are just ordinary extraordinary people whose blood has been contaminated by the origin of distortion.

They didn't dare to use mundane matters like the "construction of the Custer city-state" to disturb the meeting between a great god like the "Lord of Storms" and the wizard Wayne.

"It's okay," Bertolis waved her hand, and a breeze blew over two high-backed chairs, and said:

"It is an honor to meet Wizard Wayne."

Just as she had just said - in the past two eras, Wei En was the fastest rising transcendent she had ever seen, and he was also an existence that could "kill gods" with the original power that was not as strong as that of a legendary wizard!

No one would easily offend such an existence!
Even she, the "Lord of Storms" who has survived for countless years, is the same!
Wayne was leaning back in a high-back chair. His body, which was not tall and broad, occupied the entire surface of the chair. His elbows were resting on the back of the chair, his fingers crossed in front of his chest, and his red eyes looked straight at Bertolis.

This was his first meeting, formally or informally, with a true god who had been active since the Second Era.

Compared with "Lord of the Storm" Bertolis, both "Lady of Disaster" Tina and "Sun God" Celent were once severely injured and fell into a deep sleep, not to mention the two ancient gods "God of Death" Aulaniel and Gonzalez whose names have disappeared.

Silence for a few seconds.

The two lines of origin behind Bertolis's head that were connected to the kingdom vibrated twice, and she couldn't help but asked with a smile, "I wonder what Wizard Wayne wants to say to me?"

Wayne raised his eyes slightly to look above her head, nodded slightly and said, "I want to know what you and Orpheus are plotting."

Bertolis seemed to be unable to believe that he would directly ask such a secret, and slightly opened her red lips:

"Wizard Wayne refers to..."

"Before the end of the Deep Sea Doomsday," Wayne said calmly, "before I destroy Celerent's ascension to the throne of the Realm of Truth and Killing."

This was what he heard from the wizard Waklav. At that time, Kimberly, the incarnation of "Lady Red Moon", also landed on Red Moon Island to destroy the Dusk Cult's plot.

Bertolis's eyes narrowed, he knew!
"It was just an unexpected meeting of old friends."

"Really?" Wei En tilted his head, adjusted his sitting posture slightly, put one hand on his cheek, and his tone became lazy:
"Ms. Bertolis, I went to the Northern Continent a few days ago, where I met the wizard Waklav and... Celent."

Bertolis's expression changed slightly.

Without waiting for her to speak, Wayne continued, "Wizard Waklav has a close relationship with Celerent. With his intervention, the feud between Celerent and me has been resolved."

"And I promised Celent to do something for him..."

At this point, Wayne changed the subject, looked at Bertolis who looked grim, and chuckled:
"Guess what Celerent's attitude is towards you and Orpheus?"

What attitude?

How could the ancient god, who had been active in the primordial world since the First Era, have an attitude towards two younger generations who were taking advantage of his misfortune?

I'm afraid he wants to devour her and Orpheus?

Bertolis's expression became increasingly ugly.

"Wizard Wayne, I want to know what your feelings are towards me and Orpheus?"

"As far as I know, the Storm Church has never offended you."

"You are right. I have no ill will towards you or the Church of Storms. It's just that the Church of Dawn..."

Wayne drew out a long tail and whispered, "Orpheus makes me feel sick."

"I also know that after talking with you, he went to the city-state of Mendesai in the Kingdom of Diwana, which was where I once placed the 'Lady of Disaster'."

Bertolis suddenly realized, that's what it was.

"Sorry, Wizard Wynn."

"I can assure you that I was not involved in the conspiracy between Orpheus and Tina."

"When he met me that day, he only mentioned Celerent. After all, well..."

Bertolis pointed in the direction of Basil Street and said, "Orpheus and I each obtained a kingdom belonging to the 'Sun God'."

Wei En's eyes reflected her figure, and in the perception of the original power, it was as if he saw the "Lady Storm" in person, and he could clearly see the origin of the "Storm" and "Thunder" kingdoms.

[You witnessed the real incarnation of Storm Lord Bertolis. Special reward: Origin +10. ]

[You are being watched by Bertolis, Lord of Storms. Bertolis's attention to you has increased, and you are currently ranked 3rd.

Evaluation: When ants are placed on the table, they will always attract the attention of the gods at the table. Special reward: Origin +100. 】

The words of Gonzalez flashed through Wayne's mind, and he couldn't help laughing: "Ms. Bertolis, you are too nervous."

Nervous? Of course!

Bertolis hadn't experienced such emotional fluctuations in a long time. The last time was when she felt fear when she learned that "Lady of the Night" Lilith had disappeared for no reason.

Even when she and Orpheus faced the resurrected Celerent, her essence was not shaken.

"Wizard Wayne, if necessary, I am willing to stand by your side. Orpheus, Tina and I are just partners."

No wonder Bertolis made such a quick decision.

Do you think the person sitting in front of her is just Wizard Wayne?
wrong!

Now, besides Wayne himself, there are also the demigod wizards Vaklav, Velosa and Ragnar standing behind him, as well as the "real master" McAllister and the guardian of the world of the dead, Vilawut.

Such power, let alone her, a god who owns two kingdoms, even an ancient god who owns more than three kingdoms cannot resist it.

There must be at least three to five ancient gods!
"Ms. Bertolis, I like your attitude very much. Please keep it up."

Wei En chuckled and said, "I forgot to mention that Celerent only came to me to solve the hidden dangers of the 'Killing' country."

Bertolis paused and said reluctantly, "If I have the chance, I will personally apologize to Celerent."

Regardless of whether Celent wanted to unite several demigods in the wizard camp to deal with her and Orpheus, she took it as true.

It was really that the pressure that Wizard Wei En gave her was too terrifying - that kind of original power like the deep sea, not even an ancient god possessed it, but now she saw it in a wizard who was not even a legend.

It was hard not to be frightened by such a horrifying discovery.

"Later, I will head to the center of the continent. I hope I can see Orpheus there."

Wayne said so.

"Yes, really? Good luck to you..."
