"Alaide!" (Dharma Seal: Shattered!) ）

Lesy didn't pay attention to the bullets, kicked the ground under his feet, jumped straight over, and threw a punch.

"Flickering."

After Wayne's bullet was fired, he flashed out as soon as possible, and had no intention of getting close to Lacey again.

However, the third flickering spell in a short period of time actually directly consumed his spiritual power......

It gave him a headache.

At this rate of consumption, at most three times, his spiritual power will be exhausted.

Lacey shook the gravel off her hand, ignoring the phantom clone who was casting a charm spell on the side, and turned her head to look at Wayne fifty meters away, "Yes, this spell is perfect for you...... Well? ”

Before she finished speaking, she quickly looked to the other side.

This bullet, how could it be?

She had dodged the past, but the six bullets were fired at her in a large circle.

Lacey's face changed slightly, and for some reason, when she saw those bullets, she felt a faint threat in her heart.

How so?

"Cool!" (Seal: Shield!) ）

Lacey didn't dare to hold it up, she clenched her fists and crossed forward, summoning a cyan barrier to protect her.

Immediately after, bullets fell on the barrier, instantly turning to ashes and making a crackling sound.

[Your musket hits Lacey Janices Montoya, you don't deal any damage to her, and the death trait cannot be triggered.] Evaluation: Weak chicken, it's useless to give you a chance, but you have to work hard. 】

Grandma's, sure enough, it can't be broken, and it's useless for any characteristics.

In fact, as early as yesterday's battle, Wayne discovered this.

If the bullet hits those people's shields, although the panel has a hint of hitting, if it doesn't damage them, the death trait won't be triggered at all.

However, Wayne did not intend to give up, taking advantage of the gap in Lacey's defense, grabbed a handful of bullets and sprinkled them in the air.

In a flash, his hands flew up and down, reloaded, muskets loaded, and shot...... In just two seconds, the bullet was shot into the air.

Before Lacey could make the next move, all the bullets instantly landed at the same point, shattering her magic seal.

"Asireel!" (Seal: Blade of the Mighty Wind!) ）

A huge blade of light slashed out, shattering all the bullets and flying sideways, hitting the rune circle in the gladiatorial arena, causing ripples.

Marco, who was watching the battle, looked at this scene in surprise, "Lacey, you actually took out an axe, is it necessary to be so serious?" ”

But in my heart, I was thinking, the action of reloading and shooting in the air is so handsome, write it down and write it down.

"Shut up!"

Lacey held the two-handed axe and looked at Wayne with a solemn face, just that feeling......

You can't go wrong,

If you are hit by those bullets - she will die!

Wayne raised his hand helplessly, "I admit defeat, captain." ”

He knew it would be like this......

In the face of Lacey's physically strong transcendents, it is difficult to make a difference with the current standard musket alone.

Even if he summoned Sava out, combined with the undead rage, it would only prolong the fight for a few more minutes.

The results will not change either.

Lacey withdrew his two-handed axe, showed a smile of relief, and praised: "I didn't expect your spear skills to be so strong, and with the flicker, it is enough to deal with the first-level calamity." ”

The first-level calamity, that is, the aberrant species formed by the pollution of ordinary people, is much lower than the captain level.

"Wayne, aren't you an apprentice to the Wraith? What about your undead and the mechanical parts you bought the other day? ”

Marco just saw the rise, thinking that Wayne was hiding it, and said with a wink: "You don't need to save face for Lacey, what ability can you use." ”

"Why don't you come?" Lacey glanced at him, a chill in the corner of her eye.

"No, no, the wounds from yesterday's battle are not healed......"

"Hmph, you should do your best, Marko. Otherwise, after a while, Wayne's strength will surpass yours. ”

"What?"

Marco was stunned for a moment, "Are you serious?" ”

"What do you think?"

With that, Lacey put on her coat and turned out of the gladiatorial arena.

For her, the stronger the investigator of the first department, the better.

Only then can we better deal with the next cases, especially Wayne...... It's time for him to team up with Tina.

"Is she telling the truth, Wayne? Your strength is improving so fast? ”

Wayne scratched the corners of his eyes that had become swollen, and smiled shyly, "It's still far from the eldest brother." ”

"That's right."

Marco looked at him thoughtfully, but he didn't expect that there would really be a monster-like newcomer in the investigation.

Plus the Saint-in-Waiting, Carly, who hasn't arrived yet......

If you don't work hard, you can't do it.

Wayne didn't care if he could surpass Marco in strength, and through the gladiatorial fight with Lacey, he had a clear idea of the next direction.

To put it mildly, the skills he has mastered now are only suitable for abusing vegetables.

Especially for those enemies whose strength is lower than him and there are very many of them, the lethality of the musket combined with the corpse explosion technique is not much worse than that of Lacesimalko.

But the downside is very obvious, that is, his outbursts are too poor.

If he encounters a transcendent like Lacey in front, it is estimated that he will only have to run away......

"Outbreak ......"

The six-barreled shotgun is a kind of shotgun, and if it does what the mechanical modder said, it should be able to improve a bit.

But that's not enough, he needs more powerful guns, or single spells with extremely high damage!

At this time, Tina, who was grabbing the corner of his clothes, suddenly spoke: "Four heads." ”

"Huh?"

Wayne looked up at the little Assi, and introduced: "I'll teach you how to distinguish between them, the most rune imprints are called ghosts, the least are red ghosts, and the remaining two are the secret master and the driver, remember?" ”

"Tina, remember."

The white-haired girl grinned and greeted the ghosts.

But the little Assi hurriedly turned their heads, looking very afraid of her.

Wayne just smiled and took Tina back to the office to continue working on the mechanical golem's drawings.

Now he has four origin descendants, of which the ghost is the necromancy system, the driver is the puppet mechanical wizard system, the red ghost is the flesh enhancement system, and finally the secret master is the elemental spell system of the spirit secret school.

From this point of view, the Ghost School's occult system does have its own uniqueness.

It's just that each Origin Descendant is a different spell system, and the knowledge and effort needed to learn are not as simple as multiplying by four.

In addition to the universal rune power, the undead system requires the study of undead summoning, transformation, and plague.

Puppets are mechanical wizards, and they must be proficient in various mechanical crafting knowledge, and they also need to learn the ability to manipulate puppets.

The flesh enhancement system is simpler, but there are also a lot of enhancement skills to learn.

Finally, there is the elemental spell system, in addition to the knowledge of spell runes, there are also divination, astrology, occult and other knowledge to learn.

Thinking about it this way, Wayne is already a little big.

If there are a few more origin descendants in the future......

He is like this, so you can imagine what kind of life those wizards in the secret art system of the school live.

It is estimated that most of the time they are immersed in learning and research, working hard to strengthen the spell system.

……

……

It wasn't until three o'clock that Carly, accompanied by Yegor, came to an office.

"Lacey, I've brought the new investigator, you can take her for a while."

Yegor still looked lazy, as if he had brought not the Church of the Dawn Lady-in-Waiting, but a dispensable ordinary inquisitor like Wayne.

It is worth mentioning that he did not attend the celebration ceremony in the morning, but directly asked Deputy Director Balatz for half a day's leave.

Reason...... Well, there aren't enough cigars.

Let the high-level members of the secret investigation department blow their beards angrily and stare at them, but they can't do anything about him.

I have to say that such an unobtrusive minister in the Logistics and Investigation Department has caused a lot of trouble for the people below.

Lacey didn't give him face at all, and drove away directly: "Leave the rest to me, you can go back." ”

"Of course, you are the most capable officer of our investigation department, so I will leave it to you......"

"Get out!"

Without saying a word, Yegor turned and left, leaving only a cloud of smoke stubbornly floating in the office.

Carly: "......"

She looked at Yegor in confusion, and then at Lacey, whose face was full of impatience, didn't she say that she was the minister?

Why is this person's attitude ......

After Yegor left, Lacey said with a normal expression, "Welcome Miss Carly Morris to our investigation. ”

She didn't mention Carly's identity, she didn't say the word Church of the Dawn, and like Yegor, she treated Carly like an ordinary inquisitor.

Wayne and Marco applauded, "Welcome." ”

Only Tina tilted her head to look at Carly, fiddling with the clown doll, but didn't move.

Carly had changed into an investigator's uniform and folded her hands on her lower abdomen, "Thank you. ”

She also noticed Wayne standing behind, and couldn't help but have a little more joy in her eyes, as if his appearance had brought her great courage.

Then Lacey introduced several people, "Carly, we will work together in the future, and I won't take special care of you because of your status." ”

"No problem," Carly nodded obediently, "The teacher has already explained it before I came, so let me study hard with everyone." ”

Marco said enthusiastically: "Don't worry, if you don't understand anything, just ask me, I ......"

bang

Before he could finish speaking, Lacey threw a punch, "Forgot to say, you stay away from Marco in the future." ”

"Huh? Lacey, how can you denigrate ...... in front of a beautiful lady"

bang

"Slander?"

"No, no, no, no, it hurts, it hurts, I was wrong, I was wrong, ......"

Lacey is still minding the matter of the previous drinking party, but she will not get used to him, and if she dares to make money, she will have to suffer the corresponding consequences!

Carly looked at them in surprise, hesitating whether to dissuade them or walk away.

"Sister Carly, sit down here." Wayne pointed to the position behind him, which was kind of helping her out of the siege.

"Uh-huh."

Carly hurriedly carried the small box and trotted over, feeling a little more strange in her heart.

The appearance of this captain's sister - without any trace of elegance, modesty, generosity, kindness, is the type she has never been exposed to before.

Even Mary, the strictest teacher in the school, never did it before preaching......

"It's a pleasure to see you here, Wayne."

After Carly put down her things, she whispered, "Actually, when I was assigned to the secret division before, I was still a little worried......

"But you agreed to come, didn't you?"

Wayne was still scared of what had happened in the morning, and it was hard for him to imagine what would happen when the Lord of Dawn's gaze was truly cast on.

Although this matter may not have anything to do with Carly, let him treat her the same way before...... It's going to be hard.

To put it simply, there is a barrier.

"Well, the teacher said that doing this will allow me to pass the saint's assessment faster, so ......"

Holy Lady Assessment?

Could it be that the morning's event was to make Carly pass the test and become a true saint?

Wayne said thoughtfully: "Since this is the case, then it is not a bad thing for you to come to the secret division to study." ”

"Mmmm, that's what I thought too. I ......"

At this time, Tina's godless eyes next to her glared at Carly, and she suddenly spoke, "Tina, I hate it." ”

Well?

"Hate? Me? ”

Carly looked blankly at the white-haired girl, and although she didn't quite understand the way the other person was talking, it was obvious that she hated herself.

"Tina, Dawn ......"

Without waiting for Tina to finish, Wayne put his hand on her head and rubbed it, "Tina, Sister Carly is a new colleague and will work together in the future." ”

"Yes, Tina can't say that."

Lacey also noticed the movement here, dodged over and hugged Tina, and said with a smile: "Carly, don't mind, Tina, she doesn't have much thought." ”

"Hmm."

Carly hesitated, then nodded, "I see, Captain." ”

For some reason, she looked at Tina's empty eyes, and felt a wave of fear in her heart for no reason, as if it was the bottomless abyss that would free her from the protection of the dawn.

"Tina, yes."

Lacey looked around with a slight headache, and always felt that they didn't look like inquisitors, but a group of troubled children who needed to be cared for......

After thinking for a moment, she reluctantly announced: "Since there is a change in the personnel of our department, and the strength of Wayne is enough, let's regroup." ”

"Wayne and Tina are in a group, and Carly and I are in a group. Marko, act alone for the time being, and arrange it for you when a new person arrives later. ”

"Starting tomorrow, the cases will be processed according to their respective groups. Is it clear? ”

Wayne and the others looked at each other and nodded, "Okay captain." ”

"And Wayne, when you need support on your side, press the siren, and I'll be there in time, understand?"

"Don't worry, I'll take notice."

Wayne knew Lacey's plans to group up now.

With the particularity of Tina's body, since she said that she hated Carly, it would be a hidden danger for everyone to let her and Carly together, so she simply used the grouping to separate them.

This can greatly avoid accidents and is the best way to protect everyone.

"Okay, get ready, the evening drinking party will go on normally."

Marco was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Huh?" Didn't cancel it? ”

"A ceremony is a ceremony, a drinking party is a drinking party,"

As she spoke, Lacey glanced at Carly, "What happened in the morning was just an accident, and I believe that Master Ales will not mind everyone's contact with the rest of the city-state." ”

"Great!"

Wayne said secretly: It's not good at all.

He also thought that after the morning's events, the evening drinking party was also canceled. Unexpectedly, those people were willing to sit with the people of the secret division......

Can it be said that they are accustomed to Director Ales's domineering and domineering?

……

……

As the bell of the Krems Cathedral rings, the red moon rises quietly, instantly obscuring the sun's rays and heralding the fall of night.

At this time, the council hall, located in the center of the city-state of Castel, was brightly lit.

Hundreds of gas lamps hang under the ceiling, and candles representing dawn are lit on the surrounding walls, illuminating every corner.

The long dining table is filled with a variety of food and drinks, and the enticing aroma is set off by gold and silver plates, which will make you feel appetizing.

In one corner of the hall, there is also a special music area, where Shatland's most popular song of recent times, To the Great Dawn, reverberates in the hall.

The nobles from all over the city-state, the officials of the city-state council, and the clergy of the Church of the Dawn were all dressed in splendid clothes, gathered in twos and threes, and a few laughs were heard from time to time.

And in the center of the hall are the protagonists of the day, the members of the Secret Division, several clergy of the Church of the Dawn, and representatives of the councils of the city-states and the councils of the nobility.

On the side of the Secretarial Division, under the leadership of Deputy Director Balatz, three high-level members and two ministers came.

One of them was none other than Yegor, the reluctant head of the Logistics and Investigation Department.

The arrival of the Church of the Dawn was also replaced by Melbert Osiris, a guardian knight from the city-state of Crane.

The two sides were reconciled by Harrington, the deputy speaker of the council of the city-state of Caster, and the old Earl of Ernst, the representative of the noble council, and finally successfully completed the praise of Carly for joining the secret department.

Everything seemed so friendly and peaceful.

Well, except for Wayne......

[You are locked by Melbert Osilies' killing intent.] Evaluation: If I were you, I would never appear in front of a ministerial-level powerhouse. Oh, in the parlance of the Church of the Dawn, a paladin. Reward: +3 Survival Points. 】

Wayne cursed secretly, but was finally discovered by the guardian knight with a brain.

"Sister Laixi, the drinking party doesn't seem to be interesting, can I go around here?"

If you stay here any longer, it's hard to say that you won't be slashed by a sudden sword.

Lacey nodded, "It's okay to go around, but don't go too far, and when the party is over, I'll take you to a safe area." ”

"Hmm."

Wayne hurriedly got up and left the makeshift stage, and Tina wanted to follow, but was held down by Lacey.

As for Marco...... It has long since disappeared, and it is said that Miss Lydia, who had returned from Crane, had called her over for a "friendly" conversation.

Carly, who was seated in the middle, also noticed his departure, and hesitated but did not leave her seat.

Unlike Wayne, she is the highest-ranking person on the Dawn side today, and she needs to receive blessings from all sides......

Melbell, who sat next to her, looked at Wayne's back with a blank face, her fingers raised, but finally put it down.

All this was seen by Tina on the other side, a trace of madness flashed in the godless eyes, and the clown in his hand trembled even more.

Dawn...... Orpheus ......

[You are locked by Melbert Osilies' killing intent.] Comment: I suspect you stuffed money into Lady Luck's **. Reward: +2 survival points. 】

[You are locked by Ognyan Sherman's killing intent. Comment: Tsk, interesting people are here. Reward: +2 survival points. 】

Well?

He's even here?

Wayne quietly took a glass of juice from the waiter's hand, and pretended to be curious as he drank it, looking around.

If you can't find it outside, forget it, this hall is only five hundred meters, and the whole is within his perception range, so I don't believe that I can't find that person.

"Good evening, Mr. Inquisitor."

At this time, a slightly hoarse voice sounded in his ears, "Are you lost?" ”

Wayne looked at it, and his heart shook suddenly, "You-"

"Shh," the man put a finger to his lips with a deep smile in his eyes, "I think we have a lot of topics to talk about, what do you say?" Mr. Wizard Apprentice from the Ghost School? ”

"Of course."

Wayne suppressed the throbbing in his heart and looked at the comer...... And the two cold-looking heads on top of his head, he turned out to be a wizard from the Ghost School!

"Introduce yourself, the contemptible Ognian Sherman, one of the ghosts of the Ghost School in the city-state of Caster. What about you? Mr. Apprentice? ”

Ognyan Sherman??

The one who was always following and hostile to him?

Unexpectedly, he hadn't looked for it yet, but the other party actually came over first.

And what is the Phantom, the intelligence agent hidden in Custer?

Wayne forced himself to calm down, "Wayne Loft, the intelligence officer of the Spirits stationed in the city-state of Custer, it's a pleasure to meet you. I don't know if the shadow is ......"

Ognyan waved his hand and said, "This is not the place to talk, come with me." ”

With that, he turned and walked to the side of the hall, where the exit led to the outside of the council.

Wayne looked at his back and subconsciously touched the space ring on his hand, where he stored the weapon before coming.

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and followed, quietly holding the "siren" with one hand. As soon as something is wrong, he will immediately press it and seek Lacey's help.

It was only after walking through the deep hallway to a slightly dimly lit place next to the hall that Ognyan stopped.

"I thought you wouldn't dare come along, Officer Wayne."

He was a slender man, dressed in a black tuxedo, with gray and white hair, small but sharp eyes, and a two-puffed mustache under a tall nose.

Standing in the shadows, playing with a small and delicate black cane from time to time, under the backdrop of the two little Assi behind him, the whole person looked so gloomy.

"Why not? ...... of the same school of ghosts Sorry, you're supposed to be an official wizard, right? I beg your pardon for seeing you, I'm still a little flustered......"

Wayne consciously lowered his profile, expecting to lower the other party's vigilance.

"For wizards, wizard apprentices and official wizards are nothing, and knowledge is the only measure of us."

Ognian said pointedly, "And you're not ordinary, it's the first time I've seen an apprentice with four Origin Descendants......"

Wayne looked at him in confusion, "Huh? Is it rare? Do you have two of them? ”

Knowledge?

It seems that this Mr. Ognian's knowledge is not very much, and the rune imprints on the heads of his two little Assi...... One, two, three, four, five?

Get rid of the two Soul Eater Runes, and there are only three - Undead Summoning, Undead Rage, and an unknown spell rune?

So weak, ah no, so few?

"yes, I also have two Origin Descendants......"

Ognyan's hand paused, and then naturally rotated his cane in a different direction, "Okay, I'm not looking for you about that, but something else. ”

"Tell me," Wayne hurriedly performed a wizarding salute according to the memories of his predecessor.

"You're on the same team as that Saint Lady Alternate, Miss Carly?"

"Yes, as you can see, I was unlucky to be involved in this celebration......"

"Unlucky?" Ognyan chuckled, "Should I call you smart, or should I call you stupid?" ”

Wayne smiled with a smile, "I don't quite understand what you mean...... Or if you prefer, can you tell me what the Shadow is? ”

complained frantically in my heart: You are so stupid, you have such a heavy killing intent on me before, and you dare to expose it...... If you don't need to know more, I'll call for reinforcements to kill you now.

"The so-called phantom is a different sequence that belongs to the same intelligence department as you low-level intelligence officers, and you can understand that my identity is more secretive."

"I see, thank you Wizard Ognyan for your doubts."

It turned out to be you, the one who went to the liaison officer to dismantle my station before!

Wait, he seems to be talking about one of the Phantoms of the city-state of Custer?

Does that mean that there are other shadows besides him?

Ognyan looked at him with displeasure, "Here, don't call me out as a wizard. ”

"Okay, okay, I don't know what you just asked...... Do you need me to cooperate with you? ”

"That's right, I need you to provide me with information about the Holy Maiden's candidate, all of them!"

Wayne frowned slightly, "I don't really understand, since you already know her identity, and you know how to gather intelligence better than me, why ......"

"I'm a special person and can't be out and about all the time."

Special status?

Hostile to me, and bypassing the liaison officer to arrange for me to work, and at the same time being a ghost school hidden sequence, Shadow......

Is...... Just because I'm low-key doesn't mean I'm stupid, Mr. Shadow.

Thinking of this, the corners of Wayne's mouth curled, "I see, you should have other more important things." ”

"Now, do you know what to do?"

"I don't know."

"Just know it...... Well? Ognyan was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed a trace of cruelty, and his voice became indifferent: "You, what did you say?" ”

Wayne coughed and said with a smile: "Sure enough, people of your age have some geriatric diseases, and the back of the ear is one of them, but ......"

"I forgive you, listen up, I don't agree with your request."

"You, looking for death!"

As the words fell, Ognyan waved his cane violently and chanted coldly: "Adagua! ”

I saw that the other party's two little Assi suddenly opened their bloody mouths and pounced on him.

"Niko, Rook." (Flashing.) ）

Wayne had already prepared, and his figure flashed fifty meters away, leaving a phantom clone on the spot, and whispered to the two heads: "Mens, Di." (Charm.) ）

"The Occult School Elemental System? You've got a lot of gold pounds......" Ognyan's blow was ineffective, and he waved his cane again, "Diagulaga! ”

Now he just wanted to silence the hateful, damned, shameless, disgusting apprentice in front of him forever.

I saw the summoning circle appear on the ground, and a few "tap" sounds came out.

A, no, two figures appeared in the center of the circle, a dead knight riding a skeletal horse and wielding a long sword.

"Ril~"

"Redy, Don, Wall." (Ice Charge.) ）

"It's an undead creature......"

And this is definitely an undead creature below the captain level, then I'm welcome!

"Abdel Jalil!" (Mechanical Box!) ）

Wayne flashed out again, summoning the mechanical portal as the musket in his hand fired a barrage of bullets that struck the undead knight in a strange curve.

【……】

By the time Wayne knew that the death perk was in effect, he had already flashed next to Ognyan, and after luring the undead knight to rush at him, he flashed out again.

At the same time, dodge another spell of Ognyan, Shadow Wrap, which has a ...... effect Countless arms crawled out of the ground, apparently trying to grab his feet.
