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

Chapter 98 Ah - Stop Fighting

At this time, Wei En has few spells to choose from. Only by upgrading the Blink (Death) spell can he escape faster or deal with battles.

闪烁（死神）2级（1/300），（2/300）……闪烁（死神）2级（300/300）。

[Blink (Death) Level 2 (300/300), whether to improve? 】

【promote. 】

[Congratulations, your skill: Blink (Reaper) has been upgraded to level 3.Effect: Blinking distance increased by 100%, mental power consumption reduced by 10%, phantom clone +1. 】

[Note 1: Blink (Death) level 2, will generate 2 phantom clones, with 20% of the body's spiritual level, 20% of the toughness level, and the existence time of 20 seconds. 】

[Note 2: The phantom clone has hidden characteristics and has the ability to charm. It cannot charm creatures whose spiritual level exceeds 150% of the original body. 】

If the distance is increased by 100%, it means a range of 100 meters, and the spiritual level does not exceed 150% of the body, so that is below 180?

Wei En glanced at it, his mind changed quickly, and he could clearly see the effect of the flash spell.

As for the fact that the phantom clone has 20% of the basic attributes of the main body, he directly skipped it. With such a little attribute, it is estimated that it cannot withstand the blow of the two behind him.

"Yenish." (Bonebreaker.)
"Hold me tight, Tina." Hearing the voice behind him, Wei En growled without thinking.

"Tina, I know."

Mysterious Lord, flash!
The little Axis who had been floating in the air watching the two behind them, the secret master turned his head to look forward, "Niko, Luke."

Immediately afterwards, Wei En and Tina disappeared suddenly, leaving only two phantom clones in place.

Erno slashed at the phantom body with a knife, the soft touch made his eyes slightly cold, ran away?

"Mens, Dee."

The phantom clone left next to him looked at him, and a charm spell was cast on him.

"Well?"

Erno's expression froze, and he waved the long knife in his hand wildly, "I finally caught you, you are dead."

"Die, hack you to death!"

"Hahaha... Tiki, I avenged you, Tiki!"

Although Collins was also affected by the charm, his mental level was much stronger than Erno, and he only woke up in an instant.

The dancing tentacles on his body hit the wall of the secret passage from time to time, corroding potholes one after another.

"Huh? Erno, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"

boom……

Wayne, who dodged out, also noticed this, and instead of running away, he pulled out his musket while flipping his wrist, and fired a series of bullets at them.

Six bullets flew up and down covering the entire secret passage, blocking their dodging route.

"You bastard, do you think you can deal with us with a gun?"

Collins stood in front of Erno angrily, and the tentacles on his back stretched forward to block the bullets.

[You hit Collins Vazquez with a musket, triggering the death characteristic - aging, and the progress of death is 1/30.Rating: Disgusting stuff.Reward: Survival Points +3. 】

【…】

[You use a musket to hit Collins Vazquez, triggering the death feature-epidemic, and the death progress is 6/30... Reward: Survival point +3. 】

Can the defense be broken?

Wei En's eyes lit up, he put down Tina, and quickly loaded the bullet.

The time for the charm spell is not long, so hit Collins while he can't move!
bang, bang, bang...

"Aging, disease contamination?"

How can it be?

How could there be death characteristic pollution power on those bullets?
Could it be that the kid is a believer in the death sect, doesn't it mean that they have disappeared?
But obviously now is not the time to think about these things, Collins has already felt that the tentacles on his body are polluted.

In particular, that smear of black disease pollution could actually replace his own green corrosive mucus, attacking his body along the tentacles.

"Damn Erno, if you don't wake up, we will be in trouble!"

While shouting, Collins let off several tentacles pierced by bullets, so as not to affect himself.

Looking at the dozens of incoming bullets, he already knew that he must never touch Erno head-on, so he could only wrap his tentacles around Erno, leading him to avoid the bullets.

He would choose to use his tentacles to resist when he really couldn't avoid it.

"Who are you? Why do you have the characteristic power of death pollution?"

Collins did not expect that an ominous person who had not yet reached the captain level would actually bring him such a big trouble with only one gun.

[You hit Collins Vazquez with a musket, triggering the death feature-disaster, and the death progress is 1/30.Evaluation: Extraordinary blood, hehe, extraordinary, hahaha... Reward: Survival point +3. 】

【…】

[You use a musket to hit Collins Vazquez, triggering the death feature-epidemic, and the death progress is 1/30... Reward: Survival point +3. 】

Ok?
Death feature progress reset?
Wei En frowned. He looked at Collins who kept falling off and new tentacles came out. Isn't this kind of ability too supernatural?

Unfortunately, the space in the secret passage is too small, and the effect of [Ballistic Control] cannot be maximized, otherwise Collins would not be able to dodge so many bullets.

"Well, Collins? Come on, put me down—"

Entwined by the tentacles, Erno, who was constantly being corroded, woke up, and the severe pain in his body made him scream out.

"You're finally awake, quick, help me block these bullets!" Collins quickly threw him away, "But be careful, there's something wrong with that kid's bullets."

"What's the problem?"

Erno already knew that he had been hit by a charm spell just now, and he flashed to Collins with a gloomy face, smashing the bullets one by one with his long knife like the wind.

"Wherever there is harm, there is some pollution."

"Ok?"

Seeing those bullets being shot down, Wei En knew that it would be difficult to inflict damage on them, so he had no choice but to put away his musket. It seemed that he could only do so much today.

"Two members of the Vazquez family, I'm curious what your purpose is for targeting the Serres family?"

"You don't think you can escape like this, do you? Erno!"

"Oakley, Des, Thomas." (Aurora flashes.)
"Nico, Luke."

Wei En stepped out a hundred meters away and looked at the phantom clone that was chopped to pieces by the sword light and Erno who was once again charmed. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Can't you still escape like this?"

"Damn!"

Collins' tentacle shattered the clone, and then gave Erno a hard blow.

"Forget it, I won't play with you. See you next time, and you won't be so lucky."

"you!?"

Before Collins could speak, Wayne had already pulled Tina a hundred meters away. Since he couldn't beat her, there was no need for him to stay here.

Erno woke up, looking at the two newly appeared phantom clones with a headache, "The flickering spell that can separate the clones, can you use charm?"

"This person is very weird. On the surface, he uses the spells of the Occult School, but his body is obviously much stronger than other wizard apprentices. The key is his bullets..."

Collins looked at Wei En who had disappeared into the secret passage with a gloomy face, "I told you not to focus on the family blood before."

Thinking of the bullets with the power of death pollution just now, and the speed at which the opponent fled, they were very different from the wizards of the occult school he had seen before.

The strength of the body alone will crush most of the mysterious wizards, but the magic is much less.

If it was a real mysterious wizard, in such a closed space, I am afraid that he and Erno would have already started to escape.

"...Then are you still chasing?"

"Go back, he's right, if we delay any longer, we won't be able to leave."

"But……"

"There is still a chance. The most important thing now is to take Genrich away, plus that... go!"

After speaking, Collins turned and left without hesitation.

Erno glanced bitterly in the direction of the exit and followed him back the way he came.Next time, next time I will definitely improve my mental strength!

"gone?"

On the other side, Wei En, who had left the secret passage, noticed that the two people behind him did not follow him, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just now he used three flashes in succession to get out of the secret path, directly consuming more than half of his mental power.

"They left?"

At this time, Saiyam sensed that the two people did not follow him, and looked deep into the secret passage without knowing what he was thinking.

"Well, it's a good thing they didn't catch up..."

"Investigator Wei En, please don't talk about what happened today, please."

"Huh?" Wei En thought for a while, and said, "I don't need to tell the public, but our secret investigation department has internal procedures... sorry."

Syam glanced at him, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Wei En turned to look at the city that never sleeps not far away, and the guards who were coming here, and said, "It seems that this place has been alarmed..."

"Baba, be careful!"

Without Xiao Asi's reminder, Wei En, who was highly nervous, had already flashed a hundred meters away with Tina in his arms, his blood-red eyes seemed to be covered with blood, and he was staring at the old knight.

"You're going to kill me?"

At this time, Saiyam had a dagger in his hand, which was piercing the body of one of the phantom clones. He was still waving the dagger back and forth while chattering incessantly.

"Go to hell, go to hell, why aren't you dead yet?"

"You should die now, right? Hahaha..."

"Go to hell bastard, damn Vazquez, damn..."

Charm, or?
Wei En called out the Mechanical Gate straight away. Although he didn't know why Syam wanted to attack him, since he had already chosen to attack him, he was no wonder.

click.

Wayne took out the six-barreled shotgun and loaded it casually. The cold metal touch made his eyes even more gloomy.

"If it wasn't for Xiao Asi's reminder, just now..."

"Wayne, brother." Tina pulled the hem of his clothes, staring at him with empty eyes.

"Ok?"

Hearing this voice, Wei En's eyes became clear again, and he looked at the white-haired girl beside him, "Thank you, Tina."

Because he had noticed the prompts on the panel and understood that he had just been affected by an external force.

[You are eroded by the origin of Mitra (the favored one), the lord of desire, because your spiritual level is much lower than that of the other party, and you are affected by the power of the origin of desire.

You are slaughtered, bloodthirsty...

Comment: You disturb Him.Special rewards: survival points +5, origin +1. 】

[With the help of contract power (disaster), you successfully resisted the erosion of the original power of desire.Evaluation: I take back my previous suggestion to terminate the contract, otherwise you have to change it in advance... Special reward: +5 survival points, +2 spirit level. 】

Mitra?
Just talk about how Syam would attack him suddenly.

Wei En turned his head to look at the city that never sleeps in the distance, he temporarily remembered this tone.

Thinking of this, he held the shotgun in the air and fired a shot.

boom!
The huge gunshots echoed continuously in the depths of the ground, causing some vibrations.

"I'm going to kill you, damn it...huh?" The old jazz was awakened by the voice and looked around, "I, what's wrong with me?"

"It's nothing, you may have just encountered a catastrophe, and your spirit has been polluted."

"Is it like this? I'm really... sorry, didn't hurt you, did I?"

"No." Wei En casually threw the shotgun into the mechanical door, "What's your plan next?"

Syam put away the short sword, his expression was still a little dazed, "As I said just now, you don't need to be in charge of this matter."

"Who asked you this?"

Wei En looked at him as if looking at the mentally handicapped, "It's obvious that they took away the god, and they also killed your son. As for who they are, you must be very clear in your heart."

"This one……"

"Don't you understand? Your commission has been completed, please pay the commission fee. In addition, I was almost killed by you just now, and you have to give me an extra fee for mental damage... and about the Vazquez family — hush money!”

Although the old jazz wanted to kill him because he was influenced by the power of desire, it did cause him spiritual harm.

What a lie... No, it should be an extra gold pound, right?
Syam: "..."

He is an old man, two sons died just now, and one son betrayed... How can you bear it?
"Here you are, 200 gold pounds!"

"Thank you very much, Lord Sir Syam."

Wei En took the stack of 5-pound banknotes and counted them deftly, "You are welcome to come to the Secret Research Department next time to issue commissioned tasks."

One hundred gold pounds was handed over to the Secret Research Department, and he kept the remaining one hundred—the pay was directly proportional to the return, and he was very happy.

Now he finally knows why Lacey and Marco have so many gold pounds. With so much extra income, other people will be very rich.

Of course, the premise is that you can survive the mission...

"Who, do you know where this place is? Dare to do it here?"

It wasn't until this time that the old Rose from the Nightless City rushed over. Seeing that they were all familiar people, he waved his hand to signal the guards to put away their weapons, "Sir Serres?"

"It's me," Syam nodded, "I'm sorry Ross, there was an accident and I had to hide here."

"Then this one, oh, I remembered, it was with Master Nascimento last time..."

[You are scanned by Ross Dolisk's mental perception.Reward: Survival Point +1. 】

[You are scanned by the spiritual perception of the Lord of Desire Mitra (Faith).Reward: Survival Points +2. 】

【…】

Wei En nodded calmly, "Just call me Wei En." "Investigator Wei En, I hope I didn't scare you."

"No," Wei En shook his head, then looked at Syam and said, "Sir, since the commission has been completed, I will go back first."

"Well, thank you for your help, when this matter is over..."

"Goodbye."

Before he could finish speaking, Wayne turned around and left.

Better never see you again!
He went to the Seres Manor twice and was attacked twice, each time more dangerous than the last... If he encounters a case related to the Seres family again, he will really become a fool!

Wayne nodded to Old Rose, passed through the guards in black armor, and walked towards the exit leading to the outside of the Natoli block on the other side.

Old Rose looked at his back and shouted, "By the way, Investigator Wayne, Investigator Marco came to the city that never sleeps at noon, do you want to go find him?"

Wei En froze for a moment, "Um, Marco is here?"

Didn't he come out with a mission?Co-authoring means going out to play, fishing for work, right?

"Yes, I've been here for almost two hours and had a lot of fun. Do you want to come up?"

At this moment, a voice came from the direction of Evernight City, "Wayen, Tina?"

Wayne looked for the sound, and was speechless to find that Marco was standing on the tower bridge in the middle of the castle with his upper body naked.

Wow, have you already played it?

Marco flew straight over here, "Why are you here too? Do you also want to hehehe..."

"I'm not, don't talk nonsense, I don't."

Wayne pointed to the old knight on the other side, "Hey, I just finished the commission and am about to leave."

"Sir Syam?"

"Ah."

Saiyam just nodded towards him and followed Old Ross and the others towards the Nightless City, his back looking very bleak.

"What happened? Why does it feel like he's not in a good mood?" Marco bumped Wei En with his bare shoulder and asked in a low voice.

"I won't be able to tell for a while, you, do you want to go back and change your clothes?"

"It's okay, it's just halftime. It's the same when I go back later."

Seeing his smug look, Wayne really wanted to slap his size 43 shoes on his face.

I was beaten to death outside, and almost died!
It's good for you, you don't work hard, but you still go to the city that never sleeps, right?
"Let's go, Tina, let's go back."

boom!
A loud noise interrupted his words, followed by a huge light blade, which bombarded the castle and was blocked by its defensive rune circle.

"Wayne, are you here?"

Marco exclaimed: "Lacey? How did she find it here?!"

Wei En scratched his head, "I'm sorry, I just informed her to come here."

He had already forgotten about pressing the siren before, but seeing Marco's appearance, he suddenly felt that such an accident was not bad.

Well, it looks like at least one will die today...

"...Then I'll run away first, don't tell her I'm here."

"It's late, she has already seen you."

I saw Lacey rushing from the side holding a two-handed axe, followed by Carly who was full of vigilance.

Lacey glanced at the three of Wei En and jumped over, looking nervously... Tina was relieved after confirming that she was not injured.

"I'm relieved to see that you're all right."

Carly ran over and asked nervously: "Wayne, Tina, are you injured? I can treat you."

"No," Wei En shook his head, and added, "Tina is fine."

The white-haired girl clung to his leg, not noticing that her fingers were firmly grasping the sensitive part of the clown doll.

Sour, sour, laughing and joking, this can also be used as a game punishment!
"As for the task, I'll tell you after I go back. I'm afraid it's not very convenient here."

"Well," Lacey noticed Marco with his upper body bare, and frowned, "Why are you here?"

"I, can I say that I'm also here to rescue Wayne?" Marco put his hands on his chest, shrinking his head.

"You feel……"

"Damn it, who is it this time?"

Old Ross ran over again with the guards. He just breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw the huge light blade striking the castle, he felt bad and almost scared him out of his mind.

"How dare... um, yes, Ms. Lacey from the Montoya family?"

Lacey glared at Marco, then turned to look at the guards, "It's me, who are you?"

"This, that..." Old Rose was embarrassed for a while, and looked at Marco for help.

But at this moment, Marco was more embarrassed than him, and he wanted to find a crack to get in immediately-now he just wanted to be in the field, not here.

"Also, why is there a castle here?" Lacey saw the two rows of coolly dressed girls standing under the castle from a distance and continued to ask.

Wayne, Marco, and Old Ross: "..."

Are they answering questions, or are they fleeing for their lives?

"So, this is the city that never sleeps that you mentioned earlier?"

After a while, Lacey finally got the answer she wanted, gritted her teeth and looked at Marco, "So, you didn't go to the Idrisu block to finish, but ran here..."

Marco smiled embarrassingly, "Actually, this, that, I want to go..."

Before he finished speaking, he waved out his lantern staff, and immediately cast a spell: "Zach, Buru, Zack." (The wind of lightness.)
boom,
"Qingling? Still dare to run? I'll let you run!"

Before he could slip away, Lacey had already raised a casserole-sized fist and hammered at him, and scolded at the same time: "I told you to lie to me to hold a reception, and to sneak out to play without working hard, I... "

"Hey, I was wrong, Lacey, I was really wrong!!"

Old Rose looked at Marco, who had transformed from a handsome guy to an ugly guy almost instantly, and grinned: "Investigator Wayne, there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

I had heard about this person's reputation before, but I didn't expect that the rumors were just rumors after all. Looking at it now - it's even scarier.

"Ah."

Wei En nodded lightly, looking at the beaten Marco... You were beaten up for telling you to come out to play without me?deserve it!
Of course, even if he was invited, he would have to think about it.

especially--

[You are peeked by the origin of Mitra (the Beloved), the Lord of Desire.Reward: Survival Points +3. 】

Wei En looked at the direction of Evernight City calmly, didn't he hate being disturbed?
Now let's try the power of desire to erode again?
Hmph, you only know how to bully the weak, wait, sooner or later I'll let you know how powerful you are!
"Wayen, do you want to tell Miss Lacey to stop, I, I feel like he is about to be killed..." Carly didn't dare to look at Marco's miserable state all the time, and only dared to glance at it from time to time.

"It's okay, the captain has a sense of proportion." Wei En replied casually, "Let's go, I guess she will have to wait a while to finish, let's go out and wait."

"Oh."

After speaking, Wei En took Tina's little hand and walked out of the passage with Carly who looked back from time to time.

"Ah - don't fight, I was wrong -"

The screams echoed throughout the cave, and the regular guests in the city that never slept were so frightened that they all put on their clothes and slipped away from the other side.

On the top of the city that never sleeps, Mitra looked at them lazily, her watery eyes staring at Wei En's back, not even caring that the thin rope on her body fell off.

This guy's origin has improved quite quickly. Remember he had two sub-bodies last time, right?
Interesting...

……

……

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, several people returned to the Secret Investigation Department, um, except for Marco who was going to the Idrisu block to finish the case.

"Lacey, Carly, thank you for coming to rescue me, your missions are not affected, right?"

"No, the case in Basil Block was obviously the work of a freak."

Lacey leaned back on the high-backed chair carelessly, with her arms folded, and the dials of the two hanging clocks were more prominent, "Tell me, what happened to Serres Manor?"

Carly also asked curiously: "That's right, didn't you go to the Natoli neighborhood? Why did you appear in that, that city that never sleeps?"

"There was an accident in the middle, captain, do you still remember the butler Collins last time?"

"Remember, that old guy was very generous last time, what's wrong with him?"

"He was the one who colluded with Genrich Seres..."

Wayne will tell the story of the Serres family, especially how he and the old jazz fled to the city that never sleeps after being hunted down by Collins and Ernor.

"...Finally, after the two people left, the old knight entered the city that never sleeps."

Lacey pondered: "So, Collins and those who attacked the manor are all members of the Vazquez family?"

"It should be, but Sir Syam didn't admit it. I think it hides a lot of things. And the statue, I'm afraid it's not as ordinary as they said."

"Then let's stop this matter for now. After you finish writing the report, I will submit it to Yegor and see what the people above say."

"it is good."

Wei En nodded slightly, and did not object to Lacey's arrangement.

The development of the matter here is obviously beyond the scope of the secret investigation department's responsibility.

Especially when nobles are involved, according to the city-state laws, such cases must be handed over to the noble council.

After the case was finished, Wayne counted out a 100 gold pound note and put it on the table. "This is the commission fee given by the old knight. I brought it with me."

"Well," Lacey accepted the gold pound and split another 50 gold pounds, "This is for you and Tina."

"Thank you very much."

On the way back, Wayne had secretly slipped an extra gold pound from Syam to Tina.

Now counting the 25 gold pounds, the gold pounds on hand again exceeded 100 gold pounds, and he should be able to buy a few good spell knowledge.

Then he took out the translated Era relic and put it on the table, "I've also finished this one."

"The speed is quite fast, leave it to me, and I will send it to Yegor later."

Then when it was time to get off work, several people were busy with their own work.

Lacey was teaching Carly the process steps of writing case files. The two of them were so close that the hands of the hanging clock almost touched each other.

When Tina returned to the office, she took out the box of biscuits and continued to feed the clown doll.

It's just that this time the clown doll didn't hold back any longer, and opened its mouth to swallow a piece of biscuit from time to time, not knowing whether the food it ate would yield...

As for Wei En, it only took 10 minutes to hand over the commission formation report of Seres Manor to Laceina, and continued to study the design drawings of the mechanical puppet.

Even with the knowledge of runes, it would not be easy for him to improve on the original blueprint of [Iron Hearted Rager].

First of all, the overall appearance of the puppet must be changed. The previously thick limbs have to become slender because of the simplification of the solid heart and fury burst lines.

At the same time, the torso of the mechanical puppet, especially the position where the cornerstone runes are located, has been abruptly increased from the original dozen or so parts to 45.

It’s almost as big as the sum of all the previous parts.

Wei En felt that such a change was very reasonable...

But thinking about it, he actually didn't have much confidence in the newly designed drawing. He could only modify a drawing first and try to complete the production and assembly of the parts.

After all, every drawing of a mechanical puppet is the result of countless years of research by predecessors, and it is the limit of what he can make some changes to.

When he actually did it, Wei En found that he still had a lot to learn. In addition to runes, the mechanical puppet also included material science, mechanical weapons, kinematics and so on.

Even Wizard Jerry, who claims to be a genius, started researching and designing his own mechanical puppet after he was promoted to a full-time wizard.

Therefore, Wei En had to set his goals lower, hoping to see what the final effect would be, and then make targeted adjustments and optimizations.

When, when, when.

"It's four o'clock," Lacey looked at the time on the wall, gritted his teeth, and said, "That bastard really didn't come back, let's see how I deal with him tomorrow."

Wayne mourned for Marko for a few seconds, then packed up his things, "Tina, I'm going home from get off work, you should go back with the captain too."

The white-haired girl paused and said coldly: "Tina, I know."

"See you tomorrow."

Wei En stroked her hair, then looked at Carly behind, "Uncle Youan said he was away for two days and entrusted you to my care..."

"Ah?" Carly obviously didn't know about this yet and asked in surprise: "Did he go out? Where did he go?"

"It is said that I went to the city-state of Andrea to pick up a batch of materials, and I should be back tomorrow."

"That's it, then I'll go back with you." Carly hurriedly picked up the things on the table.

"Ah."

After Carly packed up, Wayne said goodbye to Lacey and took her out of the office.

The white-haired girl turned her head half a circle, stared blankly in the direction of the door, and murmured: "Tina, see you tomorrow..."

Hee hee hee hee haha... See you again tomorrow, okay?
"Tina, it's not good."

"Huh?" Lacey noticed her talking to herself. "What's the matter, Tina? Are you all right?"

"Tina, it's okay."

"It's fine, let's go too, I'll make you your favorite animal blood tofu today."

"Tina eat, clown, don't eat."

Clown Doll: I only deserve to eat cookies, right?I do not want!I want to eat blood too! !
