"Either because the death time is too long, the origin dissipates, or because the origin of the aberrant species is relatively small, and there are ......"

Another possibility, and worst-case outcome, is that Soul Eater spells are most effective at devouring wizards who are also Ghost Schools.

If it's the first two, it's better, just need to fight and devour step by step, and the origin power will continue to grow.

But if the latter is the case, it may also explain Ognyan's hostility towards him.

"Let's hope not......"

If that's the case, I'm afraid that the ghost school may not be stable internally.

Wayne looked around and saw that the whole room had been cleaned up, and even the dust, furniture, and carpets in the corners had been swallowed up, and he looked up at the little Assi.

Seeing that they were all wrinkling their faces and opening their mouths wide at this time, they looked like they wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit, and they couldn't help laughing.

"You have to learn to distinguish between what works and what doesn't...... Forget it, it's too hard for you. ”

Obviously, they can't.

When casting the Soul Eater spell or any other spell, everything is centered on his will.

No matter what the intelligence of these Origin Descendants is or what they are doing at the time, they will not hesitate to execute the instructions once they receive them.

The reason for this, Wayne guessed that it was probably related to the Soul Eater Rune.

However, the Soul Devouring Rune was too complicated, and he wanted to disassemble and verify it, and it was still very difficult with his current knowledge of runes, so he could only wait until the rune level was upgraded in the future.

With that in mind, Wayne opened the door and went out, "Tina, the finishing touches are over. ”

When the white-haired girl saw the clean scene in the room, her small mouth became an "O" shape, and she seemed to be a little surprised, "Tina, go." ”

Wayne pulled her out, glanced at the clown doll that was dragged to the ground, and reminded intentionally or unintentionally: "Tina, it's still raining outside, that doll should not get wet." ”

Tina's obedient hand was removed from the clown doll's neck and moved to a point below its waist......

Sizzle, sour!

"Okay......"

Wayne felt a slight tightness in his waist and abdomen, and secretly decided that he would not be injured and comatose in the future, he didn't want to be injured and injured.

The chubby tavern owner was wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and when he saw them come out, he was surprised: "Cleaned up?" So fast? ”

"Well, it's okay. But you don't mind if the furniture is cleaned up, right? ”

"Of course not, I ......" the tavern owner was stunned for a moment, the bloody scene...... Is it okay to call?

"Well, goodbye."

Before he could finish speaking, Wayne took Tina out of the tavern and disappeared into the depths of the block with her umbrella.

After a while, the tavern owner rushed out panting, and roared under the surprised gaze of the enthusiastic ladies at the door, "Damn the ominous, why don't you even let go of the floor bed, there is nothing left!?" ”

Hearing the voice behind him, Wayne hurriedly lowered the umbrella and sped up a few points, he didn't have any money left to compensate......

What he didn't know was that he was in a tavern at 114 Basil Block.

"Is that him?" A slender figure was staring at his back.

Ernaux said resentfully, "Yes, Your Highness, Tiki was killed by him. ”

"Collins, what do you say?"

Collins pondered: "Your Highness, the most important thing now is that thing, which is related to our Vazquez, and I suggest that we should focus on planning......"

"Of course, planning is of course the most important thing," the slender figure glanced at him, "but what is the point of my clan if everyone is gone?" ”

"What does Your Highness mean?"

"Before the plan begins, I'm going to sacrifice his head!"

Collins hesitated for a moment, glanced at Ernaux, gritted his teeth, and said, "I know what to do." ”

"Also, what happened to Genrich and the statue?"

"In another stronghold, just wait for Jack's first mate to arrive."

The slender figure muttered: "That's the day after tomorrow......"

"According to the time calculation, the first mate will come over tomorrow night at the latest." Ernaux added.

"Well, let's start preparing now."

"Yes."

The slender figure just wanted to nod, but when he saw the figure outside the window, a smile flashed in his eyes, "Oh? There's a good show to watch. ”

Collins and Ernaux followed her gaze and looked at her curiously......

At this time, Wayne was walking towards the outside of Basil with the white-haired girl when he heard Tina say, "Tina, hear the voice." ”

Wayne thought that the white-haired girl was talking about the tavernkeeper's curse just now, "The tavernkeeper's heart is burning, it should be nothing......"

"Tina, hear me, kill you."

"Huh? Who's going to kill me? ”

Wayne frowned, and his first reaction was Collins and those people.

He looked around at the crowd, especially the sailors who had obvious ill intentions, and found nothing suspicious.

Tina tilted her head, as if listening to something, "Tina, a hundred." ”

"What hundred?"

"Tina, ten meters."

Distance? Ten meters??

"What......"

[You are locked by Endrite Werther's killing intent.] Comment: Be careful. Reward: +3 Survival Points. 】

Be careful?

swish

"Niko, Rook." (Flashing.) ）

A sword light slashed, and the two phantom clones were slashed as soon as they appeared, and they didn't even have time to cast the charm spell.

Wayne pulled Tina to stand not far away, the musket loaded and pointed at the person wearing a black robe not far away to cover his figure, his brows furrowed: "Who are you?" ”

"Wizard ......"

The attacker obviously didn't expect this blow to miss, let alone that Wayne would flash a hundred meters away in an instant, causing his subsequent movements to stop.

His eyes under his hood looked at Wayne through the rain, "I want to collect some interest before leaving......"

Leave, interest?

Wayne didn't know why, and asked Tina, who was on the side, "Is that him?" ”

"Tina, it's him."

The white-haired girl was clinging to his legs, and the rain wet one side of her face and the clown doll in her hand.

It's just him, I just raised the spell level last night, so let's try him!

"Stay here and don't move."

After telling Tina, Wayne pulled the trigger and a bullet fired.

However, the power of the musket at a distance of 100 meters is too low to have much effect.

Therefore, his figure flashed out, took the initiative to approach the black-robed man, and emptied the bullets in the chamber of the gun again.

Bang, bang......

Ballistic control!

Six bullets delineated different trajectories and shot at the black-robed man, and one bullet had such a large arc that it even grazed the head of the sailor watching next to him.

At the same time, the phantom clone behind him stared at the black-robed man, and there were words in his mouth: "Mens, Di." ”

"Oh?"

The black-robed man held two short knives in his backhand, looked at Wei En, who took the initiative to kill, and let out a sigh in surprise, "Shadow flash." ”

His body shook slightly, and the short knife in his hand seemed to slowly move up, and the figure disappeared in an instant.

Bang, bang......

The bullet pierced through the position of the black-robed man.

[The enchanting spell cast by your phantom clone misses the target.] 】

Only one hint?

Wayne noticed that there was no hint on the panel that the musket had hit, and realized that it was not good, "Bone wall!" ”

The runes on the ghost's forehead representing the Bone Wall (Grim Reaper) flickered, "Wall, Guns, Tar!" (Bone Wall!) ）

I saw that a gray rune array on the ground under his feet flashed away, and bone walls composed of hundreds of crystal clear white bones rose up on all sides, blocking him in front of him.

Collapse!

A bone wall shattered.

The figure of the black-robed man suddenly appeared, but when he found that the blow did not work, the figure disappeared again, "The reaction is quite fast...... Go on! ”

Your Bone Wall spell resists Endrite Werther's shadow flash. Evaluation: Speed is also power. Reward: +2 survival points. 】

【……】

[Your Bone Wall Spell Resists Endriter Werther's Shadow Kill...... Reward: +2 survival points. 】

Seeing that the bone wall could withstand the opponent's attack, Wayne felt a little relieved, but he also kept an eye on the state of the bone wall, and added another one after it was broken.

At the same time, his spiritual perception covers his entire body, trying his best to capture the other party's figure.

It's really fast, this man.

If it was before today, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to block the other party's knife.

"Are you just going to hide in a cage?"

The black-robed man's speed was getting faster and faster, and the bone wall was shattered more and more frequently, as if he was deliberately draining his spiritual power.

Wayne felt the change in the other party's disappearance around him, and gradually he was able to keep up with the other party's speed.

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

And the sailors who were watching around all showed a look of schadenfreude, "Boss, it looks like that arrogant ominous person is going to die." ”

The leader noticed Wayne's eyes, he didn't notice any panic or fear, only a cold and calm, shook his head and said, "Wait and see, it may not be like that." ”

"He can't even fight back, how can he not die?"

"Can you?"

The sailor smirked, "No, it can't. ”

"If you can't, shut up!"

“……”

Wayne didn't care about the people around him, his attention was all on the black-robed man.

The bone walls around him shattered one after another, and the bullets he shot out didn't even hit the shadow of the other party, the speed was too fast.

In just one minute, half of his mental power had been consumed.

It's not the way to go on like this, try that spell!

Taking advantage of the gap between the black-robed man smashing the bone wall again, the secret advocate spat out a lightning bolt from his mouth, and a silver-white lightning Z-shaped shape slashed in front of him.

"Gna, Ji, Una!" (Lightning Arrow!) ）

[Your lightning arrow (Death) hits Endrite Werther, causing a paralyzing effect.] Evaluation: The blind cat meets the dead mouse. Reward: +2 survival points. 】

Now is the time!

"Deep, Rocco, Door!" (Shadow Wrap!) ）

The ghost's expression was hideous, two runes appeared on his forehead one after another, and two scarlet eyes followed the figure of the black-robed man with rapid turn.

A huge rune circle emerged, and countless mysterious runes became distorted and scattered under the reflection of the black light, enveloping the range of tens of meters around Wayne's body.

Suddenly, countless withered arms burst out of the ground.

The arms, covered in shriveled skin and rotting flesh, had shiny knuckles and long, sharp nails that danced and spread around with a hiss from the depths of nothingness.

The black-robed man apparently noticed his feet as well, but it was too late, and the lightning bolt caused his movements to come to a noticeable halt.

And those arms didn't wait for him to react, quickly grabbed his feet, and then countless arms swarmed up, as if trying to drag him into the endless depths.

"Damn it!"

The black-robed man was shocked and angry, and the short knife in both hands swung and slashed at the arm under him.

But no matter how many hands he cut off, more would climb towards his body one after the other, as if they smelled fishy.

Long fingerbones and nails snapped and pierced his body, holding him in place.

The black-robed man regretted it so much, he had already fled, why did he still come to provoke this person.

He noticed that Wayne was already holding the musket and aiming it at him—

"No!!"

Die!

Wayne's eyes turned cold, his hands turned into afterimages, and dozens of bullets poured out.

With the current distance between the two of them, he didn't need ballistic control at all, and he saw those bullets hit the black-robed man one by one.

Bang, bang......

[Discover the origin that can be devoured, do you use the soul devouring spell?] 】

Wayne waved his hand to dispel the shadow entanglement, and looked at the black-robed man on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief, it was really thrilling......

I saw that the black-robed man at this time was full of scars that had been pierced and cut by his arm, and pustules came out of the wounds from time to time, spitting out a stream of pus.

His face was even more invisible, it had long been polluted by the characteristics of death, dried and sensitive, and full of pus from the plague......

It was miserable!

"Hey, don't move the inquisitor over there......"

"Adagua!" (Soul Eater!) ）

When Wayne heard the voice behind him, he had already given instructions to little Assi through the source, and the four heads pounced on the corpse like a giant mouth of the abyss.

It took only a second to devour it all.

The sailors around him could see it clearly, and they only felt that the black-robed man seemed to have been eaten by something, first his legs, then his waist and abdomen, and finally his head, and he disappeared one after another......

"He, he, he ......"

"That corpse, was it eaten?"

“……”

The sailor leader gasped as well, and if it weren't for the fact that there were still a few pieces of equipment on the ground, he wondered if what he had just seen was a hallucination.

At the same time, he was extremely glad that he hadn't had a conflict with this inquisitor before, otherwise he wouldn't know how to die.

[You use the Soul Devouring Spell to devour Endrite Werther's Origin, and your Origin is enhanced.] Special Reward: Origin +0.02. 】

Sure enough, devouring such a captain-level transcendent would gain a pitiful amount of origin power.

It seems that only the origin of the wizard who is also a ghost school has the best devouring effect......

Wayne glanced at the prompt message, secretly remembering this in his heart, and then turned to look at the person who had just spoken.

A colleague from the Secretarial Division?

Sound familiar?

I think of it, when I first joined the secret investigation department, the person who gave him a mental shock in the property management department seems to be the elder brother of the captain's family?

"Stop, didn't you hear?"

Santiago was tall, muscular, propped up in his dark blue uniform, and glared at him with a two-handed axe of the same style as Lacey.

Wayne pursed his lips and ignored him, and walked over to collect the two daggers and a ...... on the ground Well, the Space Ring?

This is a good harvest.

When Sandiego saw him do this, he was even more furious, and even opened the uniform on his body in a few places under the burst of power.

"Talk to you, boy, don't ignore me!"

[Because your spirit level is over 100, resist the spiritual shock of Santiago Montoya.] Evaluation: This is a scum that is weaker than a weak chicken. Reward: +1 Survival Point. 】

A cold light flashed in Wayne's eyes, and he already had a musket in his hand...... Don't blame me!

At this time, a scolding came from the side: "Enough, Sandiego, is your ability for your own people?" ”

"But the minister, he ......"

"Shut up, Sandiego, we've all seen it!"

Sandiego snorted and put his two-handed axe away.

Minister?

Wayne also put everything in his hand into the spatial ring, and turned his head to see one after another appear in the same dark blue uniform as Sandiego.

The leader was a thin young man with a delicate face, very white skin, and a pair of black eyes with sharp eyes, as if he could see through people's hearts.

He wore a gray gown, a dark black trench coat, and a black top hat on his head, dressed like a private detective living in the Ruhr neighborhood.

"I don't know which team this investigator brother is?"

Although he asked Wayne about this, his eyes looked at Tina on the side, especially the clown doll in her hand.

Wayne looked at him, didn't answer immediately, but returned to Tina's side and took the umbrella in her hand before he spoke, "Investigate one, Wayne Love." ”

"One? Sandiego, it's your sister Lessina's team, your own people. One of the young men standing behind him laughed.

"Bielsa, shut your mouth!"

The others laughed as they watched the two arguing.

The young man at the head didn't stop them this time, but looked at Wayne and smiled, "Just now, your battle was very exciting, is it a wizard of the Ghost School?" ”

"Hmm."

Wayne pulled Tina, not knowing what the men were trying to do.

"Don't be nervous, the man you killed is a wanted person that our warhead has been tracking for a long time. Sandiego didn't mean anything else to stop it......"

"Oh."

I see.

Wayne took Tina's hand, "Sorry, I didn't know that. He just attacked me and I killed him. I thought it was ......"

"It's just us who should say we're sorry," the young man said kindly, holding out his hand, "Minister of War, Abbot Sahib, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Wayne shook his hand, hesitated and asked, "I don't know, can I go?" ”

He didn't know if there was any process to go through for the monster who robbed the warhead in the secret investigation department......

"Anytime, but ......"

Sure enough, can't?

Abbott said gently: "But after I go back, I hope you can help write a report, after all, Endritte, who was killed by you, assassinated the captain of our warhead before." ”

It's him, no wonder these people are coming.

I seem to have heard of the assassinated captain before, is it called Vinbran?

Wayne was relieved and nodded, "No problem, this is what I should do." ”

With that, he took Tina out of Basil with the men of the warhead, either playfully, friendly, or full of resentment.

"Minister, just let him go?"

"What else are you going to do?"

Albert glanced at Sandiego and said with a little dissatisfaction: "I know you have an opinion about Lacey, but I hope that the affairs of the Montoya family will not be implicated in the secret division." ”

"I see."

Sandiego clenched his fists, anger on his face restricted.

He knows the minister's temper very well, that is a battle maniac who is even more explosive than him, and he really has to stand on it, and the unlucky thing is not a day or two, but the next month......

"Alright, now that Vinbran's revenge has been avenged, let's go back to what it was before in the next time."

"It's boring, I thought I could have a good time putting the mark on him this time......"

"Who's to say it isn't? But the inquisitor's performance just now was really good, especially the shadow entanglement, and the timing was just right......"

"And the gun in his hand, I don't know if you noticed, the flesh on Endrite's body was rotten when he died!"

"Is that some kind of polluting property?"

"Haven't seen ......"

Abbott did not participate in the discussion of everyone in the War Department, but looked at the backs of Wayne and Tina, one big and one small, and secretly said Is this the choice of Director Ales?

Not only were the men of the Warhead discussing the battle of Wayne, but so were the onlookers and the merchants who had come to do business in the city-state of Caster.

"Boss, it's good that I didn't make a move against that bad man before, otherwise I'm afraid I'd have died......"

"It's good to know, I told you before I came that the city-state is not on the sea, and you must abide by the minimum order." The sailor leader said angrily: "Do you know now that you want to keep a low profile?" ”

Sailor: "Know ...... know"

"Boss, our target isn't these people from the city-state, right?"

"Huh?"

"I don't think so, with the strength of our people, let alone causing trouble to them, it would be nice to kill an ominous person......"

The sailor's leader glared at him, then at the others, and remained silent.

Apparently, he was also thinking about his next plans......

Hope all goes well, praise the storm!

And in the tavern not far away, the Vázquez who watched the whole battle also became silent.

"Collins, are you sure you'll kill him?"

"Your Highness," Collins hesitated, "his spells are so weird that it's hard to kill him unless you trap him." ”

The slender figure pondered, "In this case, let's wait until Mr. First Officer arrives in the city-state of Custer." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Collins breathed a sigh of relief, although he was confident that his strength was stronger than Wayne's, but the strange flickering spell made him unsure that he could kill the opponent.

Ernaux on the side asked suspiciously, "Yesterday, why didn't he cast these spells?" ”

"I don't know ...... either"

……

……

After this battle, Wayne has a clearer idea of his strength.

He can already deal with some captain-level players, to be precise, as long as it's not a monster like Lacey, he should have the upper hand.

And I've just tried to use the shadow wrap and the bone wall together.

If an enemy's attack does not penetrate the bone wall, he can restrain them with a shadow coil and kill them with a musket or spell.

And with the elemental spell, it can have a surprise effect.

"Next time I'm trying the Claw of the Dead, the attack power of the Claw of the Dead at level 2 is already comparable to the top captain, and I want to get good results with the shadow winding......"

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Wayne's face.

His strength is getting stronger and stronger, which means that he will live more and more nourishing in this world.

Outside the carriage, the rain continued.

But inside the carriage, the sun was already shining!

It wasn't long before Wayne and Tina returned to the Secret Division.

However, at this time, the office of the Investigation Department was empty, and it was clear that Lacey and Carly had not returned, and Marco had not been seen since the morning.

Wayne returned to his seat, took out a towel and wiped it for Tina, and carefully wiped it clean for Uncle Clown, looking very flattering.

It wasn't until he did this that he didn't see the encounter prompt, so he secretly mocked himself: No matter how strong he is, he is afraid of the sudden appearance of taboos......

The white-haired girl's hollow eyes looked at him, "Tina, potato chips." ”

"Thank you just for reminding me."

Without even thinking about it, Wayne took out the potato chips he had left for Marco, and if Tina hadn't reminded him in the Basil neighborhood before, maybe he wouldn't have been able to stop the first knife of the black-robed man.

"Tina, thank you, potato chips."

The white-haired girl grabbed a handful of potato chips, violently pried open the clown doll's mouth with the other hand, forced the potato chips into it, and said coldly: "Joker, thank you, potato chips." ”

Hee-hee woo woo delicious, I thank you grandma for her legs...... Hahaw......

Wayne: "......"

For this strange combination, he has given up resistance.

According to his guess, the danger of the forbidden demon clown should be controllable, and the person who controls it can only be the white-haired girl Tina.

As an even more bizarre and powerful calamity, it is obvious that the demon clown, who is only equivalent to a third-level calamity, is a little unsightly in front of Tina.

Fighting poison with poison belongs to yes.

Thinking of this, Wayne took out the parchment and gave her a report of the afternoon's events, and handed it to Lacey when she returned.

But until the end of the day, I didn't see Lacey and the others come back.

In desperation, Wayne had no choice but to knock on Minister Yegor's office with Tina.

"Minister, this is today's report."

Yegor looked at him blankly, as if he hadn't woken up yet, until he looked at the contents of the report, he was a little more awake, "Oh? Did you run into those maniacs in the Warhead? ”

"Yes."

Lunatic? Except for the one named Sandiego, the others didn't seem to be very worthy of the title.

"I didn't expect your strength to improve so fast, even that guy can kill you...... Well, I see, the report is here for me, and I'll pass it on to Abbott and them. ”

"What about Tina?" Wayne raised his hand and motioned to the white-haired girl on the side to do?

"Lacey, they shouldn't have finished dealing with it yet, you can help take care of Tina for a day."

It seems that this is the only way to go......

"Remember to take good care of her, after all, she is still a child, you can't bully her."

Wayne: "......"

Bully?

Is that the one I have in mind?

"Got it, Minister Yegor......"

Damn, why is he like a pervert like Marco?

……

……

"Tina, home."

Back at her residence on Golden Street, Tina looked at the somewhat familiar attic bedroom and pointed to the bed.

Home?

A smile appeared on Wayne's face, "You're always welcome here if you want." But you can't do it like last time. ”

He still remembered the scene when the white-haired girl suddenly appeared here...... Well, the little one for the kids.

"Tina, yes."

With that, Tina dropped the clown doll and lay down on the bed.

“…… What are you doing here? ”

"Tina, Marco, like this."

Wayne opened his mouth, and he suddenly realized that Lacey hadn't beaten Marco hard enough yesterday, what kind of nonsense was this teaching?

"Don't listen to his nonsense, you, forget it, I'll find you a room later, and you'll live there tonight."

"Tina, not there?"

"Well, it's not time yet, you still have to grow up." Wayne patted her head and smiled.

Whether it's the body, or the mind, hey.

The white-haired girl stared at him and tapped her chin, "Tina, I know." ”

"I'll make you something to eat, and you'll have a good night's rest, you know?"

"Tina, yes."

Soon, Wayne made a meal that was similar to breakfast, and the two of them ate it with a smile and a smile.

Well, Wayne is in charge of talking and laughing, Tina......

When, when......

"It's six o'clock, and they haven't come back yet?"

Wayne settled Tina into another bedroom in the attic and stood by the window keeping an eye on the nearby Morris Clinic.

But until the red moon rose, Carly didn't return.

Is there any trouble?

But thinking of the guardian knight that Carly was still following by her side, Wayne felt that he was thinking too much.

With how much Melbel valued Carly, it was impossible for anyone else to hurt her, let alone such a powerful Lacey......

In addition, it seems that the thousand-faced Claire said that she would come back in the evening to bring him food, and the person is gone.

Is......

Wayne shook his head and went to the second floor, huh?

He noticed that Miss Zombie hadn't shown up since he came back, and after thinking about it, he went over and knocked on the door, "Sava? ”

Squeak.

A crack opened in the bedroom door, and Sava showed half of her face and looked at him with miserable white eyes.

"Are you alright?" Wayne hesitated and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that question in the morning." ”

"No, I can't remember."

"It's okay if you can't remember......"

Wayne suddenly said: "That was a long time ago, it's good to forget about it, after all, ......"

Bang.

The door is closed.

“……”

Wayne scratched his head, after all, it was just a living memory, and he could taste the food with warmth and flesh...... It's good that I didn't have time to say that.

It seems that Miss Zombie won't be out of the bedroom for a while.

With that in mind, he turned around and plunged headlong into the studio, it was time to make his first mechanical golem!

There is a change in the evening, but don't wait, I don't know what time it will be written.
