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

Chapter 55 Death Characteristics

"Sure enough, the original rune of Death God Olanel can indeed be combined with other runes!"

Wei En opened the panel and looked at it. Now the progress of the rune entry is more than halfway up.

Runeology Knowledge Tree: Introduction to Runeology (3/10 runes +1), Soul Devouring Rune is at full level (cannot be upgraded), Undead Summoning Spell Rune is at full level (cannot be upgraded), Death God Oranael Original Rune is at level 1 ( 0/1), Mechanical Box Rune (Death) is at full level (cannot be upgraded)
Level 1 Death Origin Rune?

"I'm stupid, no wonder I have failed before..."

Wei En patted his forehead. He was only thinking about branding spell runes before, and forgot that he should upgrade the level of Death Rune before trying to combine it with the mechanical box rune.

Fortunately, he succeeded in the end, otherwise he would have been stupidly killed by himself.

Immediately afterwards, Wei En upgraded the original rune of the god of death Olanel to the full level through the panel, consuming 10 survival points.

[Congratulations, your rune knowledge: God of Death Alanael's original rune has reached full level.Effect: The success rate of drawing this rune is 100%. 】

[Congratulations on obtaining a full-level rune knowledge, your rune knowledge entry promotion progress: 4/10 (+1).Special reward: Spirit level +1. 】

A lot of knowledge about the original runes of Death God Olanel came to mind.

Only then did Wei En realize how accidental his previous success was.

The original rune of Death God Oranel has two core nodes, one is the original channel, and the other is the original amplification.

Among them, the "Original Channel" node is to establish an original transmission channel with the sleeping God of Death and borrow (steal) the original power of the God of Death.

At the same time, part of the texture of this node also has the function of controlling the size of the channel to prevent the channel from opening too large and causing excessive pollution to the users of the runes.

From this point of view, Wei En had to admire the goodwill of the person who created this rune.

Because when that person created the runes, if he had even the slightest bad intention, all those who imprinted the undead summoning spell runes would probably be contaminated by the God of Death and become aberrations.

As for the original amplification node, it is easy to understand that it has the effect of amplifying other runes.

But the specific effect of the amplification rune... is very random.

Just like the undead summoning rune - after being amplified by the death origin rune, the effect is to add several undead creature options when summoning, and can perform contract summoning.

As for undead summoning runes that have not been amplified, the undead creatures summoned are random each time they are summoned, which undoubtedly greatly reduces the practicality of the spell.

In addition, the reason why he succeeded this time was just accidental.

The reason is that when combining the original runes of the God of Death with other runes, it must be ensured that the channel between the two core nodes is consistent with the original runes.

To put it simply, only those runes with a six-pointed star pattern have a high probability of matching, and the matching degree of other rune patterns is very low.

"Good luck..."

Wei En sighed, and immediately prepared to imprint the mechanical box runes on No. Little Axi.

"I don't know what kind of changes will happen to the mechanical box after the increase of the origin of the god of death..."

Little Axi seemed to have noticed his movements and looked at him doubtfully, "Apu?"

"Don't move, it's quick."

Wei En grabbed his little head, and under the gloating eyes of the ghost and the surprised gaze of Miss Zombie, he raised the knife and dropped it.

[You have successfully branded the Mechanical Box rune (Death), learned the Mechanical Box spell (Death), and the level is 1.Evaluation: Origin is a good thing, especially "borrowing" someone else's.Special rewards: Spirit Level +2, Survival Points +5. 】

[Note 1: Mechanical box spell (Reaper) effect: form a special subspace that can store machinery. 】

[Note 2: The origin of Death God Oranael will slowly pollute all machinery (materials, equipment, puppets, etc.) stored in the subspace, giving it death characteristics. 】

[Note 3: Death characteristics: When attacking, extraordinary characteristics such as epidemic disease, disaster, and aging are randomly released, and extraordinary characteristics can be superimposed. 】

[Note 4: When all extraordinary characteristics (disease, disaster, aging) are superimposed to a certain level, death will occur upon triggering. (Depending on the original strength of the person being attacked.)]

[Note 5: As the level of the spell increases, the level of the death characteristic will also increase. 】

"Isn't this too overbearing!?"

Looking at the prompt on the panel, Wei En couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He didn't expect the effect of the amplified mechanical box spell to be so perverted.

Doesn't this mean that all the mechanical puppets he made in the future will have the characteristics of death after being thrown into the subspace for a period of time?

This, this, this... It's like putting a cannon on a bicycle, not a tank is better than a tank.

"Great, great!"

Although he still doesn't know the actual combat effect of the death characteristic, just seeing the name already makes him feel awesome.

but……

"Damn it, it takes 50 survival points to level up?"

Wei En was a little dumbfounded, only to see that in the skill column on the board, it was clearly written: Mechanical Box Spell (Death) Level 1 (0/50).

It takes 1 points to upgrade to one level, so if it is a 50-fold increase... Wouldn't the survival points required to reach the full level be astronomical?

He looked at the current remaining survival points - 79 points.

Just enough to upgrade to one level...

Wayne pondered silently.

Now he has many abilities that can be improved. Among the skills, meditation, Gonzalez language, and spear skills require 100 survival points to upgrade.

The devouring spell, the summoning of the undead, and the newly learned mechanical box spell (Reaper) require 50 survival points.

After thinking for a moment, Wei En decided to upgrade the Mechanical Box first.

Although this will change his next plan, it still feels like a shame to ignore such an awesome effect and instead improve other abilities.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and directly chose to add some mechanical boxes.

机械之匣法术（死神）1级（1/50），（2/50）……机械之匣法术（50/50）。

[Mechanical Box Spell (Death) Level 1 (50/50), should it be improved? 】

【promote. 】

[Congratulations, your skill: Mechanical Box Spell (Death) has been upgraded to level 2.Effect: The size of the subspace opened by the spell*2, and the death characteristic level*2. 】

Double the space, double the level of the death characteristic, bull!
but,

Mechanical Box Spell (Death) Level 2 (0/500)…

What’s more, the survival points required for upgrading have indeed increased tenfold!
Wayne: "..."

It seems that it is impossible to take off directly without any effort.

At this time, Little Assi No. suddenly said: "Baba, I, I also want a name."

Wei En turned his head and glanced at it, seeing him staring at him eagerly, "Your name? Let me think about it... Otherwise, I'll call you 'driver'."

Originally, he studied the mechanical puppet class, but now because of the increase in the original rune of death, all the machines will have the characteristic of death.

It should be reasonable to add the word "death" in front of the mechanical puppet series, right?

The Death Mechanical Puppet Wizard...sounds very domineering.

In this case, the name given to No. little Asi was chosen from the name of the system.

Death, crash... dead witch...

In the end, Wei En still chose the word "crash".

He could have called it "death", but as soon as the idea came up, he rejected it.

Choosing death... doesn't seem like a good choice no matter how you look at it.

The word "crash" doesn't sound good, and the mechanical puppet behind it also has the function of a vehicle... Therefore, he gave No. Little Axi a homonym of "driver".

When the death machine puppet is completed in the future, we will call it - "Old Driver".

Absolutely unparalleled domineering!
"Driver?" Little Assi grinned, "Thank you Baba."

"Yes, very polite, go to meditation."

"Ah."

Wei En looked at the two rune marks on the driver's forehead, one large and one small, and thought that it was obviously much smarter than the ghost.

Is the later one better than the first one?
He turned his head to look at the ghost and the zombie lady who were still "intimately getting along".

"Call Baba..."

"roll."

"Call……"

"..."

Don't think about it, the later ones are indeed better than the first ones.

Wayne stretched and looked at the time displayed on the clock, "It's five o'clock. It seems like I won't be able to sleep today."

However, after imprinting the runes of the Mechanical Box, today’s point-adding journey has come to an end.

Although it seems that there is only one more lady zombie, his confidence in the future has increased many times.

Especially the mechanical box after being amplified by the original rune of death made him completely change the plan he had made before, and made up his mind to learn how to make mechanical puppets first.

But there is no other way. Currently, he has too few survival points, so he has to make such a choice.

When you have enough time to survive in the future, it will be your choice as an adult - want them all!

……

……

After a short rest, Wei En started the "typewriter", preparing to upload today's information and gather some wool from the ghost.

6 pence is 6 pence, who made him short of money besides the lack of survival points?
"On August 1578, 8 in the new calendar, the weather was fine."

Ok?
After writing this, Wayne stopped.

After thinking for a few minutes, his eyes lit up, as if he could do this——

"Dear Liaison Officer, regarding the identity of the Holy Family of the Church of Dawn, according to people familiar with the situation, the Holy Family is the Guardian Knight of Melbell from Kland..."

"Because this Lord Knight has been staying in the Crimson Cathedral area and cannot judge the authenticity of the information..."

"—Caster Intelligence Officer Wayne Loft."

That's right,

Wayne did not choose to report the information about Carly, but instead passed the blame to Melbell, who had a grudge.

This is mainly due to four considerations.

First, of course, it was because of Sister Kali. He was not sure what the ghost's plan was after it obtained the information about the Holy Beloved...

Secondly, Wei En was very dissatisfied with the arrogant attitude of the liaison officer last time, so he thought of adding trouble to the other party, and maybe there would be unexpected gains.

Third, let’s trick Melbell by the way. If we can use this to trick him to death, that would be great.

As for the last reason -

From the previous clues, he judged that there should be another group of people on Custer's side to provide information to the ghost.

Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to test and see how long it would take for Ghost to obtain accurate information.

If Ghost didn't find out that the information was wrong for a long period of time, it meant that the channels for those people to obtain information were inferior to him.

Then the room for him to operate in the future will be much larger, and it is not impossible to falsify information...

As for the fact that the liaison officer later discovered that the information was wrong—that was all a matter of people in the know, and what did it have to do with him, a weak intelligence officer?
After a while, with a few crisp "ding-dong" sounds, the blue and white box flashed.

Wei En heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that the liaison officer can accept this piece of information, otherwise he might have already "called" and turned on the berserk mode.

He opened it and looked at it--a gold pound and five shillings.

so much?
It seems that the liaison officer is not only "acceptable", but also recognizes the fruits of his labor.

Not bad.

Wei En counted the gold pounds twice, put them into the space ring, and said with a smile: "Now it depends on when those people can discover the true identity of the Holy One."

As long as he is sure of the level of those people, he can safely and boldly carry out the Wool 2.0 plan.
