Restarting the myth.

Chapter 92 Ancient Silver Coin

The sea was rolling with dark waves, the moonlight was rippled and flickering, and a mysterious black ghost ship was slowly approaching.

The sailing ship is about the same length as the cruise ship, with its black sails dilapidated and empty, and the hull glowing dimly in the moonlight, like a black statue polished by wind and waves. It makes people feel fearful and want to escape, but also has a kind of mystery that makes people want to explore.

The crew and film crew stood on the deck, silently watching the uninvited ghost ship.

There was no light on the ghost ship, only endless darkness. The arrival of the ship brought an unusual atmosphere to the calm sea.

It's more than just fear.

Greed takes over more.

In other words, everyone developed a strong desire for adventure.

Based on rumors and experience, the crew speculated that the ghost ship was a wrecked pirate ship that was blown to an unknown island because of a shipwreck and set sail again because of the sea breeze.

Pirate ships mean treasure, and there is no reason to miss out on wealth that comes right to your doorstep.

At the captain's command, the sailor turned on the searchlight, organized a treasure hunting team of ten people, put on life jackets, jumped onto the lifeboat and moved towards the ghost ship.

Director Wallace was the most excited and shouted to join the treasure hunt team. He wanted to take people on board to shoot several shots to be included in the movie.

The Ghost Ship is not only a big gimmick to increase box office sales, but also a free photography base. Wallace gets excited just thinking about being able to include this set of shots in his own movie.

It’s even more exciting than sleeping with the second female lead last night.

The captain advised earnestly that the ghost ship had fallen into disrepair and lives could be in danger if one was not careful.

Wallace couldn't bear to hear this. He was a director with artistic aspirations. He was more afraid of living a mediocre life than dying, and not even leaving a masterpiece worthy of being remembered by future generations.

"As a director, my first half of life was too mediocre. I never participated in a war, never encountered pirates at sea, and never encountered earthquakes, tsunamis, storms, etc...."

"Other directors survived the disaster and were able to find inspiration to create masterpieces that will be passed down through the ages. I can only envy them. I am no worse than them. I just lack an opportunity. Tonight, I will not let this opportunity go no matter what!"

Wallace ignored the advice and organized the crew to board the lifeboat. The captain and the first mate went out together and were almost driven crazy by this brainless director.

On the other side, Wayne came to the stern, and while everyone was gathered on the deck, he jumped into the sea and sneaked towards the ghost ship.

He used the water element to cast spells and was able to sneak underwater at an extremely fast speed. Before the lifeboat approached the ghost ship, he had already gone around and boarded the ghost ship.

At this time, Wayne didn't care whether there were magicians on the cruise ship or whether his spells would be discovered by the other party. He smelled a strong dark atmosphere and knew that there was treasure on the ghost ship.

Magic treasure.

Those who are destined to have natural resources and treasures will live there;
If you do not take what heaven has given you, you will suffer the consequences.
Don't take advantage of the bastard.

Wayne can recite hundreds of such famous quotes that inspire people to do good. In a nutshell, treasures will be wasted in the hands of others, but they can only realize their full value in his hands.

The deck of the ghost ship was dilapidated and full of moisture, as if it had been fished out of the water, and the rotten wood would break into pieces if stepped on.

Wayne used the cover of darkness to avoid the cruise ship's searchlights, followed the darkness to the captain's room, and soon touched a palm-sized treasure box.

He pried open the rusty lock and saw a dark ring with a faint glow in the wooden box.

"This ring looks familiar!"

Wayne: (a`a)
It might be an illusion, the ring looked very familiar and was extremely similar to the collection of the director of the asylum.

Wayne imagined an evil pirate captain named Blackbeard, who used the dark ring to stir up trouble on the sea. Whenever the navy came to encircle and suppress him, they were defeated by the dark ring. He was at large for many years and accumulated countless treasures.

Later, due to a shipwreck, the once arrogant pirate ship sank to the bottom of the sea.

As for the ring, it is extremely similar to the one in the dean's hand. It is understandable that a Death Knight can have two, not to mention the magic ring of the Dark Goddess.

This thing should be a pair, or more, and the dean picked up one of them.

It was reasonable and logical, and Wayne immediately convinced himself.

Just scum!
Hearing the sound of wooden boards being stepped on behind him, Wayne raised his eyebrows and slowly turned around to look over.

What came into view was a skeleton undead in armor, surrounded by black mist, with white flames dancing in its eye sockets. All it took to become a complete Death Knight was a horse and a sword.

It scared me, I thought it was the Dark Knight!
"Ghost?"

Wayne held the dark ring in one hand, and black mist wrapped around the tip of his fist. He was startled just now because it was a dark ring. He almost thought that the Dark Knight had come to his door.

Is this the result?

If you are the Death Knight, then who am I!

"Nice to meet you again, Wayne. How about the gift? Do you like it?"

The skeleton spirit dispersed the death force on its body, revealing Gangplank's hard white beard. He exclaimed: "To be honest, you are really brave. I thought I would scare you."

"You really scared me..."

Wayne weighed the ring in his hand and was speechless: "Dean Plank, why are you pretending to be a ghost in the sea when you have nothing to do? Is the asylum organizing a team building?"

Having said that, he probably had the answer in his mind.

"I promised the high priest that I would not meet you. People should be honest..."

Gangplank turned back into a skeleton and said, "After so many days, what do you think? Are you interested in joining the Free Mage Alliance?"

That’s so interesting!
"To be honest, I'm not very interested."

Wayne frowned: "The teacher has told me a lot recently. Joining the Freedom Alliance is equivalent to betraying her. I don't want to disappoint her."

"Just don't let her know. If you don't tell me and I don't tell her, no one will know."

How is that possible? You old man look unreliable at first glance!
Wayne rolled his eyes and said truthfully: "Dean Plank, your invitation is very sincere. You also saved me once. It is really hard for me to refuse you, but the teacher treats me..."

"Wait a minute, since you mentioned the high priest, I have to mention the high priest's husband, Mr. Landau."

Planck was obviously prepared. He said cheerfully, "Mr. Landau gave me an offer I couldn't refuse. He asked me to diagnose you as having a mental illness as the dean. You need to be hospitalized for treatment. It would be best if you stay in the Red Leaf Forest Lunatic Asylum for the rest of your life."

Wayne: "..."

It’s a bit unexpected, but not that unexpected. It’s that person’s style.

"But don't worry, I only promised him superficially..."

Planck talked about his plan and gave the dark ring to Wayne. When Aston asked about it, he said that Wayne had been contaminated by darkness.

In this way, Planck got the research grant, Wayne got the magic props, and was spared from being pursued by Austin. It was a win-win situation, but no one had a bright future.

"It won't be hidden for long. He's not a fool. He'll find out if he sends someone to test him." Wayne shrugged, seeing through Gangplank's real plan. "In the final analysis, you just found a scapegoat to trick me into joining the Free Mage Alliance without offending my teacher."

This made Plank feel very embarrassed. He really thought so. Wayne's calmness was beyond his expectation. He thought that if he moved out of Austin, Wayne would side with him without hesitation.

Seeing that Gangplank was pulling his beard and saying nothing, Wayne sighed and said, "Dean Gangplank, I am willing to join the Free Mage Alliance. Please keep your mouth shut and don't let my teacher down."

Planck didn't understand. Was he moved by his sincerity?

"No matter what, you are a respected legendary wizard, and you saved my life. I can reject you once, but I can't reject you every time." Wayne sighed repeatedly and expressed his helplessness. He had a firm belief in the Goddess of Nature and was loyal to his teacher, so he was forced to join the Free Mage Alliance.

Mutual consent turned into one-sided pressure, and win-win cooperation turned into just talking about business and not feelings. The more Planck thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Then I thought, why bother with so many things? Wayne was willing to join the Free Mage Alliance, and his goal was achieved.

"Of course, I also have a condition, and I hope the dean will agree to it."

"Tell me."

"Dean, don't lie to Mr. Landau. He is a smart man. He can't hide whether I have been contaminated by darkness from him. This plan is meaningless." Wayne advised Planck to change the plan and to procrastinate. Every time Austin asked, he would say it would be done soon, right away, and immediately.

Planck hesitated a little, as this would mean he would not be able to earn funding.

"He is not only a smart man, but also a person who will do anything to achieve his goals. Failure will only bring about a more crazy blow. As you can see, I am still a magician's apprentice. I don't have the time nor the ability to accompany him to deal with his moves." Wayne said that it was really too difficult for him. He just wanted to do magic and occasionally deal with magical girls. He didn't want to waste his precious time on his father-in-law.

Thirty years on the east side of the Taim River, and thirty years on the west side of the Taim River. When he stands up, it will not be too late to fight with his old father-in-law.

Now, it’s better to stay away!
Planck hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mr. Landau is indeed a tough opponent. I will take a step back. You can keep the ring and I will give you half of the funds."

I will definitely keep the ring, and I won't refuse the funds, but why are you so eager to divide the spoils? No, what do you mean by dividing the pot?
You, a legendary wizard, still have to look at his face. You are really begging for food on your knees!
Is the old Yin coin so wild?

Wayne was surprised and heard a hint of helplessness in Planck's words. He re-evaluated Auston's status in the world and guessed that it was related to the Tulip Family and the Windsor Royal Family.

There was no point in thinking too much about something that was too far away, so Wayne nodded and agreed, leaving the ring and half of the funds, and the two of them teamed up to make a big profit from Aston.

"but!"

Wayne's tone became more serious: "I took the risk. Just adding money is definitely not enough. The dean must give me something to increase my strength."

"Didn't I give you the ring?"

"The ring is just an aid. Strength lies in oneself. I am just an apprentice magician. Even if you give me a magic weapon, I can't become a legend."

Wayne immediately changed his face to a serious one: "I need the four elements. I need to skip the beginner stage as soon as possible. Only when I am strong can I resist Mr. Landau's endless schemes and tricks."

"That's not a problem."

Planck agreed readily. It was just four elements. He had a lot of them stored, so there was no problem giving them to Wayne.

It’s a small amount of money, but it won’t cost much.

"No, this is a big problem. I am accumulating elements very slowly..."

Wayne's brows knitted into a "川" shape: "There seems to be something wrong with my physique. The teacher spent a lot of effort to make me meditate, and even specially arranged a magic circle that gathers the four elements..."

Wayne spoke very quickly and Planck just laughed as he listened.

Young man, your vision is still too narrow!
In Planck's opinion, Wayne's teacher is a gold wizard, who has not yet reached a higher level. He is not aware of the other uses of the four elements, and his collection methods are not very sophisticated.

Planck is different. He is a legendary wizard. The four elements are not a problem for him. He will take as much as Wayne wants.

"Wayne, your physique is indeed abnormal, which has caused your life essence to transform. Otherwise, you would not be able to withstand the backlash brought by your many beliefs. Similarly, a strong life essence requires you to have more of the four elements, which is very reasonable. Your teacher cannot satisfy you, but we in the Free Mage Alliance can."

Planck believed it without a doubt. What he was attracted by was Wayne's unique physique, or bloodline. As he spoke, he took out an ancient silver coin from his arms and handed it over.

"This silver coin is..."

Wayne had seen the same one in Auston's hands.

"It's a token of the Free Mages Union. Only a few people own it. I'll lend it to you for a while." Planck said readily.

He explained to Wayne that the Free Mage League once captured a gray space, where the collapsed world returned to its original state and a large amount of the four elements overflowed, the number of which was exaggerated to an unbelievable level.

The ancient silver coin can serve as a space channel and transmit the four elements to the holder.

Wayne could eat as much as he wanted, the gray space had plenty of food and was not concerned with his limited appetite.

“What is the gray space?”

Wayne suppressed his ecstasy and took the ancient silver coin. The Free Mage Alliance was indeed reliable, as was his father-in-law. He thanked him again for his assistance.

He gave her a daughter, a wife, a house, a butler, and also gave her resources and equipment for spiritual practice. He was even willing to play the role of a clown for this. Wayne swore that he would have a good life in the future when he became rich.

"That is the miracle of the fall, proving to us that God is not eternal..."

Planck smiled mysteriously, and seeing that Wayne was even more curious, he shook his head and said, "It's too early for you. You just need to remember one thing, faith doesn't have to be absolute, God doesn't care, the true meaning of the world is magic, not God!"

Wayne nodded. He had his own opinions about God, but he would not refute a legendary wizard. There was no harm in listening to the experiences of his predecessors.

The two completed the transaction, Wayne joined the Free Mage Alliance, obtained a dark ring and an ancient silver coin, and couldn't wait to return to the cabin to practice.

Planck was equally satisfied after completing his seduction of Wayne, and the two of them walked down the cabin and dived into the water together.

At this time, the expedition team composed of crew members had just climbed onto the deck of the ghost ship and started the treasure hunt adventure in full swing.

Director Wallace also boarded the ghost ship as he wished and shot precious footage under the protection of several crew members.

……

night.

The full moon hangs high.

Wayne sat cross-legged on the sofa in the cabin, holding the ancient silver coin in his hand, and opened the transmission channel to the gray space.

Different from the elemental space of the Lord of the Void, Wayne saw a gray world through the transmission channel, a world that was collapsing...

This world has incomparably magnificent buildings, as well as mountains, jungles, rivers and oceans. Everything is collapsing and disintegrating, and it is filled with vast amounts of the four elements.

They each occupy a corner, with an astonishing density. Quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and is materialized into the earth, fire, water and wind visible in nature.

The big eyes opened, and after confirming the look, the fire element rushed over with a roar.

Wayne couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. If the Lord of the Void still had a spirit on earth, he would surely smile in his grave when he saw someone inheriting his legacy.

Nothing more to say, open the book!
