"Cordor deep-sea abalone, snow mushrooms from the Symen Mountains, cheese from Crand......"

On the way back, according to the menu provided by Euan, Wayne and Carly made a detour to the upscale shops in the Ruhr neighborhood to buy the ingredients.

"You can buy more mushrooms and cheese, but you don't need abalone...... Are you sure Euan said these are my favorite foods? ”

"Isn't it?"

Carly pondered for a moment and shook her head, "No, what I like to eat doesn't include this. ”

"Listen to you," but Wayne didn't dig any deeper, putting the deep-sea abalone back on the shelf, "there's 16 shillings left, do you have anything in particular you'd like to eat?" ”

"Hmm...... Is that okay? ”

“…… That's grass, right? ”

Wayne looked in the direction of her finger, and there was only a small green leaf?

"What about eating grass? It was obviously a green jade from Crane. Carly said with disgust.

"Success, it's ...... anyway"

Anyway, Youan has paid for it, so I'll listen to her.

"Bought it."

As he spoke, the two of them carried large bags of things and walked towards Golden Street.

It is worth mentioning that Wayne also bought a white dress in the store and spent him almost 1 gold pound.

made Carly blush inexplicably for a long time, but in the end she found out that it was not given to her, and she was embarrassed to find a crack to get into.

However, he really cares about it, and he is willing to spend money to buy clothes for an undead creature to give her......

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and Wei En realized that the sky was already overcast, and a storm was brewing.

It has been more than ten days since he came to this world, and it is the first time he has encountered rainy weather.

No, counting the time that my predecessor was here, there has only been one rain in more than a hundred days.

It's a strange phenomenon, especially for a city like Custer that's close to the sea.

Carly also noticed this, "Hurry up, it looks like it's going to rain." ”

"Hmm."

The road was full of people in a hurry like them, most of them trying to get some things done before the last bell rang before they were outside.

And the believers who hated the secret division for destroying the dawn celebration during the day stopped speaking ill of them when they saw their uniforms.

It was strange to Wayne, he thought that these Dawn Believers would keep holding on to their secret master, but he didn't expect it to last even a day.

The two ran in silence for a while, and Carly suddenly asked, "Wayne, last time you said that the dawn of faith was fake, right?" ”

"It's not a ......," Wayne looked at Carly's clean eyes, unable to stop the lies, so he nodded and admitted, "There is still a long way to go before the Dawn Faith Path." ”

"I knew that when Melbel told me this, I didn't believe it. Turns out you're really not a believer in Dawn......"

Wayne didn't know how to explain this, the forbidden object resurrection coffin was still under wraps, especially not to be revealed to the people of the Dawn Church.

"Then have you ever thought about truly embarking on the path of faith and becoming a believer in the dawn?"

Wayne hesitated, shook his head and refused, "Don't think about it." ”

Dawn and storm are just a shelter in a gorgeous cloak at the moment. In contrast, Eternal Life will despair the sect and its ilk, but it is bad and pure, so that he avoids it.

Moreover, it was difficult for him to pin his hopes on the Lord of Dawn.

No, it would be more accurate not to pin on any god master.

From beginning to end, Wayne's goal has not changed, he just wants to live well in this world, that's all.

Carly nodded in frustration, "I see." ”

She didn't know why she felt so uncomfortable hearing Wayne's refusal.

It's like when I heard in the morning that the Dawnkeepings hated the Secret Priest and learned that Melbel had done something to Wayne.

Before her, Melbel was a very gentlemanly and polite knight, generous and benevolent...... Externally, however, he is ruthless and cruel, even bloodthirsty.

It was as if all the people around her had changed, and they were no longer as beautiful as she had thought they were.

Perhaps, that's how it was?

"Sister Carly, don't think about it so much. When you go back, cook a good meal, take a break, and work better tomorrow. ”

Wayne didn't know what she was thinking, but he clearly sensed that she wasn't in a good mood, and after a symbolic reassurance, he didn't know what to say next.

This is not a pickled girl, he has the kung fu to find a topic to chat with, it is better to return to the residence early, learn research knowledge, and improve his strength.

"Hmm."

Carly nodded slightly, her big bright eyes drooping, and anyone who wasn't blind could tell that she was down.

"If only I thought like you......"

"Huh?"

"I mean, I longed to be the saint of the Church of the Dawn, but now I ......."

Wayne didn't expect to hear this sentence from Carly's mouth, thought for a moment and said, "Then what are you expecting?" Is it the fame that comes from becoming a saint, or do you want to take on the duties of a saint? ”

"I," Carly froze for a moment, did she expect her goal?

She remembered that when she was very young, Euan had just moved her to the city-state of Custer and opened that Morris clinic.

Every day, she follows Euan to face all kinds of "sick" people.

Some of them were plagued, some were wounded and bled profusely, and more were contaminated people whose bodies had become deformed.

Euan will deal with their ailments one by one, especially for those who are deformed, and will always cut off the distorted parts of their bodies......

They all seemed to be in great pain, screaming and wailing every time, and their voices were unusually harsh.

Therefore, from that time on, she was determined to embark on the path of the Dawn faith, hoping to become a priest who would protect people from calamity, disease, and pollution......

That scene is like a clear picture, passing through the bottom of her heart, as if to form a book of memories that she can read at any time.

Carly came back to her senses, as if she had also found herself stunned, and said sweetly, "Maybe I just want to punish all evil." ”

"Sanctions?"

Wayne looked at the smiling Carly in surprise, as if he knew her on the first day, according to what he knew about Carly, what he shouldn't answer at this time was - is it a cure?

"Yes, so that a lot of people will not be in pain, sad and hopeless...... That's right, that's what I grew up expecting to happen. ”

"That's right...... Well? ”

Before he could finish speaking, Wayne saw Melbell's hateful figure appear at the intersection of Golden Street.

It's really ghostly, and I see him again!

Thinking about it, Wayne still watched the figure vigilantly, ready to use the flicker spell to run away at any time.

"Melbell," Carly spotted him as well, "why are you here?" I warn you, you can't hurt Wayne, you know? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

From beginning to end, Melbell's eyes never left Carly's figure, and he didn't notice Wayne next to him as if he hadn't seen it.

"However, you came just in time, we bought a lot of delicious food, why don't you come too?" Carly looked at him expectantly.

"No, I'm just passing by......"

"Come on, you're welcome." Carly grabbed him by the arm and dragged him towards Golden Street.

Wayne: "......"

Well, it looks like the dinner plan for the evening has gone to waste......

……

……

At the same time, in a secluded and dimly lit room, there were more than a dozen figures sitting at a long table.

Each of them wore an ornate tiara or headdress, and the robes representing nobility were embroidered with the family coat of arms, and the accessories were jewelry or gold ornaments.

At the top of the long table was a handsome young man with broad shoulders and long thick black hair that set off his nobility.

Everyone sat on the black high-backed chair with a calm face, or clasped their hands, or unconsciously played with the objects in their hands, and glanced in the direction of the door from time to time.

Wow, wow......

"Here we are."

I saw Saiyam push the door in, scan the crowd, and walk to the end of the long table without saying a word.

The young man smiled and lifted the wine glass on the table, "Everyone, praise the glory!" ”

"To the glory of greatness!"

Everyone toasted together, as if they were cheering for victory.

But the moment he put down his glass, one of the middle-aged men with a feminine face looked at the end and said, "You shouldn't have made a move on him, old Serres." ”

"He knows too much." Saiyam remained unmoved, bowing his head and playing with the ring on his finger.

"It's just an ordinary investigator, and there are many ways to force him to give up his pursuit. But your action almost made things go wrong, and the lady of the Montoya family didn't care about anything else. ”

"Golden, don't be so harsh,"

Another extremely magnetic voice sounded, "Fortunately, the purpose of this time has been achieved, Tosaiam's blessing has successfully attracted the attention of the Black Pearl to the West Coast, and the next ......"

"But I don't have three sons!"

"Didn't I leave you with one more? That third young master, I remember it's called Bean, right? ”

"I said, I have suffered a lot of losses this time, and you need to compensate the Seres family!" Sayam glanced around, eventually landing on a young man at the end of the long table.

"What do you say, Mr. Lanel Ernst?"

"Of course, I agree with your request, and I believe that everyone here will not refuse either." Lan Er smiled gently, showing great grace, "If you have other requirements, you can also put them forward." ”

"I want half a cent more!"

"Impossible! Saiyam, this plan is ......"

"Well, Golden, old Seres is not asking too much...... Well, I agreed, what about you? ”

"Agreed."

"Seconded."

“……”

Seeing this, Saiyam's face barely squeezed out a smile, "Thank you." ”

"That's it, let's go back and prepare."

More than a dozen figures present, except for Golden, all got up and left calmly.

When everything calmed down, only Lan'er was still sitting at the top, shaking the red wine glass in his hand, "Thank you for your help this time, so that there were no accidents in the plan." ”

"Oh? So how do you thank me? ”

A figure stepped out of nothingness, and it was Mitra, the beloved of the Lord of Desire!

……

……

Eventually, Wayne got a taste of Carly's handiwork, with cheese and salt-baked snow mushrooms, and green jade bibimbap.

It tastes surprisingly good - sure enough, the only downside to the expensive ingredients is that they are expensive!

A meal is nearly 2 gold pounds, what kind of family can afford to consume?

Wayne sneered for a moment, patted his belly that was a little overwhelmed, and got up, "I'm so full, I'll go back first." ”

Like Melbel, he ignored the other's presence, and his eyes didn't look at him at all.

"Okay, thank you for helping wash the vegetables today, and I'll invite you to dinner next time."

"I'll go first, too."

"Huh? Are you leaving? ”

Carly watched the two leave, thought about it and didn't choose to go out, Melbel had promised her that she wouldn't make a move on Wayne, and she still believed it.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, she didn't hear the sound of the battle outside.

"Hee-hee, maybe the two who have never been dealing with each other will eventually become friends, just like Euan and Na...... Na, with whom? Forget it, I don't remember. ”

But what she didn't know was that Melbell, who had walked to the door, looked at Wayne with a guarded face and whispered, "You'd better keep your distance from Your Majesty, otherwise, that sword will definitely fall on your head last night!" ”

With that, he dodged away, unconcerned about Wayne's reaction.

[You are locked by Melbert Osilies' killing intent. Evaluation: Good luck, the other party is full, and he shouldn't want to eat snacks. Reward: +2 survival points. 】

"Crowned ......"

The person this guardian knight cares about the most is really Carly.

Wayne glanced calmly at the place where he had disappeared, then turned to open the door to his residence. Well, I just want to put a musket in your mouth and blow your head off!

He came to the second floor, saw the zombie lady waiting at the stairs, smiled and handed her the bag in his hand, "I bought you a new dress, go try it?" ”

"Skirt, son?"

A red glow flashed in Sava's pale eyes, and she looked at the bag in her hand in a daze.

This is the first time in her countless undead life.

"I'm sorry, my dress was damaged, I just want to give you a new ......"

Whoosh, bang.

Wayne looked at Miss Zombie who quickly turned away and disappeared into the room, "...... Hope you like it. ”

When, when......

"Boom!"

At this moment, with the bells of the night, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky.

Wayne returned to his bedroom in the attic and looked out the window at the heavy rain and the small night sky.

Damn, what the hell.

I saw that at this time, on the night sky with clouds and heavy rain, the red moon was still very clear, as if its position was lower than the clouds!

But he knew very well that it was impossible.

"The polluting power of the Red Moon, is it not affected in any way?"

So far, Wayne has known only one power that can avoid pollution, and that is the light of the Dawn Church, including lanterns, street lamps, and candles.

Nothing else.

Tsk, what do you want to do with this, it's too far away.

Wayne opened the pocket watch toolbox and pulled out several of the intelligence officer's tools, a telephone, a typewriter, and a blue-and-white box.

"The Batman is an identity during the day and an identity at night. I'm also an investigator by day and an intelligence officer by night, but why is the difference so big? ”

Not to mention spending a lot of money to buy the owner of the farm, the bank, for the sake of a farm, at least he has to be able to get rid of the sanctions of black bread every day, right?

Wayne shook his head, dispelling these thoughts, "Work, work, there are still a lot of tasks today. ”

Yesterday, because he lived on the council's side, he didn't have the wool of the ghost, so he can't miss anything today.

Thinking of this, he burst into inspiration, and his hand quickly tapped on the "typewriter", sprinkled thousands of words in the past.

"On August 15, 1578 in the new calendar, I am sorry that the city-state of Karst held a great celebration on these two days. The Church of the Dawn has announced that its candidate for the Holy Maiden will go to the Secret Division to study......"

"In addition, I found the Black Pearl, which attacked the cargo ships in the harbor, in order to force the various nobles of the Caster city-state who owned the ships to surrender ......"

"Death is not the end in the quest for knowledge—the story of Wayne Lovet, intelligence officer of the city-state of Caster."

The celebration must be reported, and if he doesn't report such a big thing, the shadows will report it too.

And the reason why he chose to report an extra piece of information about the Black Pearl...... There is no other reason, I just want to make more money, so I can give a hundred and ten gold pounds more, right?

When.

Here it comes.

Wayne hurriedly opened the blue and white box, and when he saw the contents of the box, the smile on his face couldn't help but freeze, "6, 6pence??" ”

Damn, how can there be so little this time?

I remember the last time, I just reported a piece of information that he thought was not so important, and there were a few gold pounds, why this time?

As everyone knows, at this time, Olivia Tapea, the liaison officer of the Intelligence Department who was far away in Crane, was holding his information and playing with a happy face, "Hmph, I will deduct all the money for you!" ”

Wayne depressedly took out the money in the box, "What's the situation?" Relatives of the liaison officer are here again? ”

Fortunately, he finished the commission from Seres Manor today and received a sum of gold pounds, otherwise he would have had to make potions all night today so that he could sell them in the Nightmare World.

With this in mind, he took out the exchange list and wrote it down on parchment as he looked at the names of the items and the gold pounds needed for exchange.

After the last few battles, he has a clear judgment of his own strength.

The advantage is that he has a strong ability to fight continuously, whether it is the recovery ability of the calamity contract, or the death trait, which is triggered by death, which makes his battle process infinitely extended.

To put it bluntly, he can torture his opponent through consumption, and as long as the opponent shows flaws, he can bite and hold on.

But the disadvantage is even more obvious, that is, it is impossible to break the defense against those who are strong in melee combat......

This has nothing to do with his own spell power, it is simply because his current attack method is too simple, and the strength of his attack purely depends on the power of the musket.

Therefore, when choosing spells, Wayne set his sights on spells that were powerful and could be used against the melee transcendent.

At the same time, he also chose two additional defensive spells - the bone wall and the spirit shield, which are the most commonly used spells by wizard apprentices of the undead and mysteries.

"Defensive spells, 15 gold pounds, that is, 30 gold pounds...... Attack spells, or 50 gold pounds? Plus another one, a difference of 20 gold pounds......"

Wayne looked at the things on the list, frowned and thought about it, it seemed that he could only go to the Nightmare World first.

Well, there's no rush to learn new potions, so I'll exchange some materials for making enlightenment potions first.

Just do it when you think about it, and he has already advanced to the advanced wizard apprenticeship, and he has nothing to hide.

Directly through the blue and white chest, I found the Ghost School and exchanged it for 50 materials for making Enlightenment Potions.

15 shillings a copy, and if you are perfect, you can sell it for 3 gold pounds - that's enough!

Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to make perfect-grade potions, but made them according to a scale of 113, which was more of an excellent level.

At the same time, this time he will not sell it all at once, and he will also leave a part of the perfection level for his own use.

It took nearly two hours for Wayne to make 50 Enlightenment Elixirs.

Among them, 10 bottles are Fine, 10 are excellent, and 30 are perfect...... If you leave 15 bottles for your own use, the remaining potions should be able to sell for more than 60 gold pounds.

Compared to the cost of materials, it is only equivalent to double the benefit.

"Safely, that's how it should be to be on the safe side."

Bang.

With the roar of thunder, a bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, as if it were about to shatter the brilliance of the red moon.

Well?

Wayne turned his head to look, his breath frozen, and his eyes widened as if he had seen something incredible.

I saw that under the hazy red moon outside the window at this time, a huge monster came from the depths of the gray fog with lightning and thunder.

Countless tentacles swirled and twisted as if they were about to devour the entire city-state.

"What's, what is this?"

[You have peeked at the deep-sea giant Rasim, and your origin is about to change. Rating: Close your eyes! Special Reward: Spirit Level +1. 】

[Note 1: Rasim, the giant beast of the deep sea, is a large and bizarre aberration, the overlord of the deep sea, with the ability to change the ocean and the weather.] 】

[Note 2: Rasim, the giant beast of the deep sea, hates the gaze of others, and usually chooses to blind peepers.] 】

Without waiting for Wayne to react, he felt that his head was slammed on the ground, and he heard a charming rebuke from behind him: "Even that monster dares to look at it like this, you don't want to die?" ”

"Krea, Claire?" Wayne sat on the ground with his head covered and looked at the visitor, "You, why are you here again?" ”

Claire sat down on the chair next to her, her legs crossed naturally, "That's how you treated a lady who just saved your life?" ”

Pink, definitely pink......

Wayne was sure to see clearly, she had chosen to go short today, just like him—what did this goblin want?

"Hey, why don't you speak?" Claire looked at him dumbfounded, "It can't be that I'm blinded, right?" ”

"No, no."

Wayne came back to his senses and hurriedly closed the curtains, not daring to look outside again.

"I thought you were pretending before, but now I believe that you really don't know much about some common sense."

"Well, thank you for saving me just now."

"That's right~"

Claire touched her wet clothes, and her face showed a hint of disgust, "Custer's rain smells of sea, it's really bad." ”

“……”

Wayne looked at Claire, who was the same as a normal family woman...... The one under the rain-soaked skirt......

"You, why don't you go take a shower first? Next to it. ”

"Oh? Then I'll borrow it first, and I'll talk about it later. ”

Seeing Claire squirm away from the studio, Wayne quickly took a deep breath and adjusted his sitting position by the way, which almost became obvious a little bit.

Wayne kept thinking back to the deep-sea beast he had just seen, and the ugly image instantly dispelled the figure of Claire in his mind.

only to suppress his restless emotions.

Really, why did she come here again?

It's just that he's still so unrestrained, it's just to destroy the heart of this Dao!

I hope she will leave quickly, otherwise tonight's plan will be ruined again......

It didn't take long for Claire to finish rinsing up, change into a clean dress with a shorter hem, and walk over with a burst of fragrance.

"I didn't expect that your apprentice of the Ghost School is really different from others, and there is nothing more disgusting except for that little zombie."

Wayne's face returned to normal, "What are the other apprentices like?" ”

"Hmm," Crea thought to herself, "it's dirty, it smells of corpses, and ...... gloomy face."

"Then I don't think you're like the Eternal Society member described in the Secret Division......"

As soon as the words came out, Wayne regretted it a little, how could this have a flattering taste?

"Really? I'll take it as your compliment. ”

"What's the matter with you coming so late? It's only been less than a day, and I haven't started investigating what you said. ”

Claire sat down next to him, her good-looking face showing a pitiful look, "I'm really here for you this time......"

Wayne: "......"

It's confirmed, she's here to destroy this Dao heart!
