Da, da.

In the southern part of the Ruhr neighborhood, on a quiet, rainy night, the sound of several fingers tapping on the door panel sounds.

"Excuse me?"

"Shatland, Shadow of the Spirit, Red Rose."

The man inside the door was silent for a long time, "Custer, the shadow of the ghost, the dark dragon. ”

The person outside the door lowered the brim of his hat, and his plump red lips opened lightly, "Open the door." ”

Squeak.

The door opened, and a petite figure appeared, the light of the flickering candles in the room, illuminating the glasses on her face, "You shouldn't have come to Custer at this time." ”

Outside the door, Red Rose strode in with a lantern in her hand, "Is something wrong?" ”

"A lot has happened in the city-state these days......"

"For example?" Red Rose pulled down her hood, revealing a deep ravine, her eyes bright and indifferent.

The dark dragon shook his head, "I haven't found out the specific information yet, but judging from the current situation, at least the people from the Abyss Sect have already arrived." ”

"Sacrificial ritual?"

"It should be. In addition, a monster from the deep sea appeared on the edge of the city-state a few days ago, which is a very ominous sign. ”

"Monsters of the deep?" Red Rose frowned slightly, "Do you know whose it is?" ”

"Not sure, I didn't dare look at it."

The thick glasses covered most of the dark dragon's face, and the slightly curly long hair made her look slightly sluggish.

"My lord, who are you here this time?"

"Take care of something. Well, you should know where the intelligence officer is, right? ”

"Intelligence officer? You're talking about the wizard's apprentice in the open? ”

"It's him."

The corners of Red Rose's mouth turned up slightly, "He has indeed been promoted to a wizard apprenticeship now, and he is still high-level. ”

"High? I saw him more than a month ago, and he hadn't learned the meditation method back then, so I can't be mistaken, right? ”

The dark dragon looked at her suspiciously, from an ordinary person to a high-level apprentice in a month, how could such a talent come to Custer to serve as a low-level intelligence officer?

"I would like to know ...... this."

……

……

Wayne sat in the studio and felt Claire lie down to rest before retracting his mental strength.

Looking at the inferior grade anti-alien elixir that had just been made on the table, he fell into deep thought.

I remember the last time Franta said that the success rate of potions masters of the Blood Spirit School was only twenty-five percent.

Only one of the four bottles can be successful, and it is not necessarily perfect.

In other words, most potions masters who make anti-alien potions lose money?

Wayne pondered for a moment and decided.

In order to be less conspicuous, he only planned to take out ten copies, and said to the outside world that 20 copies of the materials were only half successful.

And among these ten bottles, four bottles are perfect, two are fine, two are excellent, and two are inferior.

After removing the two perfect grades that he promised to give to Franta, he could also earn 360 gold pounds for the remaining eight potions, plus the remaining ten copies of the anti-alien potion crafting materials......

"It's quite a few."

1,600 gold pounds is just the money that can be earned theoretically, if he really wants to directly take 19 bottles of perfect-level anti-evil potion and trade it, I am afraid that the entire Blood Spirit Sect will have to target him.

It's better to be on the safe side.

Although it was a pity that he didn't have that many gold pounds, but if you think about it from another angle, the success rate of making a squeezing potion is fifty percent, which is already much more exaggerated than other potions masters.

Based on the value of 20 crafting materials for 400 gold pounds, the ten potions he sold were worth 560 gold pounds - not only did he not lose money, but he also made an additional 160 gold pounds.

Thinking of this, Wayne took out the ingredients for the production of 9 anti-alien elixirs.

He then used the blue and white chests to exchange the spirits for materials for inspiration potions, healing potions, and metal materials for bullets.

"The gold pound is empty again......"

Wayne sighed, the consumption of enlightenment potions during this time was not small, especially when fighting those few abyssal creatures.

And the same is true for bullets, if you want to play the power of a sniper rifle, you can't do without bullets.

In order to avoid falling into that embarrassing situation, he could only consume more gold pounds and prepare as well as possible.

The cost of crafting a bottle of Enlightenment is 15 shillings, and the cost of making a bullet is 3 shillings......

His more than 300 gold pounds seemed like a lot, but it was only enough for 400 bottles of enlightenment potions or 2,000 rounds of ammunition.

This does not take into account labor costs.

Wayne looked at the crafting materials stacked on the ground, it was too time-consuming for one person to deal with, and in desperation, he had to take up zero study time.

Within a few moments, the whole studio was in full swing.

On one side, Wayne is concentrating on making anti-alien potions, enlightenment potions, and healing potions, and on the other side, Miss Zombie is using a drill machine with Zero to make bullets.

It wasn't until he saw the process of making bullets with his own eyes that he understood that free labor was really fragrant.

Even if he were to make it by himself, a bullet would take 1 minute, but Zero was able to reduce the time to 30 seconds.

They even worked on the assembly line without a teacher, with Sava in charge of the rough work and Zero in charge of the final refinement, which could reach a speed of 20 seconds to make a bullet at the earliest.

If it were all at their speed - but if he could open a factory, he would be able to lie down and count the money.

At nine-ten-point, he made ten anti-alien potions, which were teleported to two wizards of the Blood Spirit School through the Nightmare Worm to complete the trade contract, and he received 360 gold pounds and a thank you letter.

At 11:30, he finished making 100 Enlightenment Potions and 100 Healing Potions, leaving 70% for his own use, and the rest to be traded for Franta.

Long before Wayne finished making these potions, Zero had already made 1,000 rounds of bullets, and they watched and learned how to make potions.

There was no emotion in Sarah's pale eyes, but she felt as if a stone had been stuck in her throat as she saw Wayne's smooth potion-making process.

Can't learn or not......

On the contrary, Zero is watching with relish, and there are words in his mouth: "Enlightenment Elixir, the production time is 20 seconds, first put in the essentia of the resentful spirit, stir three times clockwise, then put in the brain flower, 3 seconds ......"

Obviously, Zero didn't know anything about Potions at all, but just memorized every step.

But Wayne didn't dare let him make potions by hand so early.

As I said before, making potions step by step can certainly increase the success rate, but success does not mean that the quality of this potion is good.

Even if two ingredients of the same quality are fused, the fusion process is different, which requires the Potions Master to recognize the differences and respond at any time.

Until the end, Zero also discovered this and asked suspiciously, "Father, the process and order of making each potion are different?" ”

Wayne reassured, "It's not enough to just remember the recipe and the steps. You'll need to do it, but don't rush it now, take your time. ”

He now finally knew the hardships of growing up as a rune scholar or potions master.

Even if Zero was able to craft bullets and some parts, and memorize the steps of the potions-making process, it would still take a lot of time to grow.

And how much time do other wizards have to learn this?

Maybe the wizards of the Ghost School are better, at least they don't have to spend a lot of time meditating.

"Let's continue making bullets here, I'll go back to my room."

"Yes, father."

Sava nodded, "Hmm." ”

Wayne exchanged some metal again, leaving Sava and Zero in the studio to make bullets while he returned to his attic bedroom.

[Congratulations, spend the day safely.] Comment: It seems that you have already felt the excitement of the world. Reward: +3 Survival Points. 】

Another peaceful day......

Isn't it exciting?

If encountering the Abyss Sect and the Desire Sect is also exciting, then what should a truly peaceful and comfortable life look like?

Wayne looked out the window, and under the cloudy night sky where the red moon hung high, he could only faintly see some of Custer's outlines.

The clearest sight to be found is the Krims Cathedral not far away, with dawn light on the dial of the bell tower, all the spires lit up with dawn light.

I believe that believers at dawn should sleep comfortably when they see this scene at night, right?

Swish!

"What do you want to do, if I can study and live in the Ghost School, I can sleep comfortably......"

Wayne closed the curtains, energized again.

Now he is only 110 years away from being promoted to an official wizard, no, it is 109 spirit level.

Just when he was busy making potions, the four Origin Descendants gave him another 1 spirit level and 0.1 toughness level.

After this period of understanding of the panel, there are three ways to obtain basic attributes.

One is to kill the Transcendent or the Aberration.

The second is to learn new runes or new potion recipes.

The last is access to various hidden beings or knowledge, such as Mitra, the Lord of Desire, Gonzares, forbidden objects, etc......

But in his current situation, the safest and least costly way is the second way.

To be precise, the proficiency level of drawing and upgrading runes.

With Wayne's current remaining 601 survival points, he can upgrade 60 runes to the full level and get 120 spirit level rewards, which is enough for him to become an official wizard.

It's just that he wants to wait.

At the very least, you must add the skills you have learned to the extent that you can't upgrade them in a short period of time before leveling up.

Machine Crates, Cornerstones, Golem Manipulation......

These spell skills that only require three-digit survival points to upgrade, so he is still 3,600 survival points short of it.

Wayne touched his chin and thought, is 3600 survival points too much?

Why don't you just upgrade the Ghost Meditation Method by 1 level and go all out to become a full-fledged wizard?

In this way, he only needs to save up another 1,000 survival points.

Wayne counted the number of skills on the board, excluding Gonzalez and spearmanship, and learned a total of 17 spell skills.

I guess there aren't many wizard apprentices who can learn this number of spells and raise them to a low level, even within the Ghost School, right?

"It's decided, save enough 1,000 survival points to advance!"

After making the decision, a smile appeared on the corner of Wayne's mouth.

I don't know what kind of talent he will awaken when he is promoted to a full-fledged wizard. It's best to have the kind of talent that multiplies his combat power by hundreds or thousands of times and blows the world with one punch......

Thinking like this, Wayne took out the Nightmare Realm admission ticket, entered the Nightmare Realm World, and came to the tower in the transit area again.

"Well, it's 44."

In the only two days since the Tower Gathering, his Origin Power had increased by 11 points, and the number on his forehead in Gonzalez had reached 44.

It's almost the same as the initiator of the last meeting, Wizard Nana.

“…… Did you hear that? The valiant saintess of the Church of the Dawn has swept through two city-states, slaying hundreds of transcendentals. ”

"I've been spreading her story for the past two days, and I heard that the Desperate Sect suffered the worst losses and was killed at the level of two directors."

"That saint not only has the blessing of the Dawn Origin, but also has a forbidden object, and if she resists it at the level of the idle director, she can't even escape."

"Be careful, it's good that she's only active in the Eastern Continent now, otherwise ......"

Well?

The saint of the Church of the Dawn who has been given heroic authority?

Wayne heard the chat of several transcendents next to him, and said secretly: Is her strength so terrifying? Slaughter a director-level transcendent at will?

"Your Excellency Faceless?"

"It's me."

Franta had noticed his appearance a long time ago, but the bright number 44 made him frightened in his heart, and he didn't dare to speak easily.

With this level of origin power, I'm afraid that Your Excellency Faceless is about to become a great wizard, right?

"I'm sorry, I'm looking at your numbers...... Scared. ”

"It's just luck,"

"It's not just luck, your knowledge and strength are definitely far beyond my imagination."

Wayne just smiled at his compliment, "It's probably similar to you Blood Spirit Wizards acquiring the corpses of high-level priests." ”

Franta: "......"

Although this is true, now the wizards of their Blood Spirit School have stopped.

However, he knew that this Faceless Lord was just talking, so he didn't dwell too much.

"Your Excellency, my two seniors, Lance and Wizard Sico, have received the anti-alien potion from you, and I thank you."

"Xie doesn't have to, if they hadn't provided the recipe and crafting materials, I wouldn't have learned how to make the anti-alien potion."

"That ......," Franca hesitated, "they want to order some more anti-alien potions from you, especially the perfect one." ”

It's time for business!

Wayne pretended to think for a moment, "I'll talk about it later, I have other more important things to do in the past two days." ”

As a gifted potions master, you have to maintain a certain style.

"Of course, of course, with the two bottles of perfection-grade anti-alien elixir you provided, it will be enough for them to absorb it for a few days." Franka breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't refuse in person, he would be able to go back.

Wayne glanced around, "Listening to the conversation of those people just now, that heroic saintess has already been dispatched?" ”

"That's ...... true"

Franta smiled bitterly and said, "Don't hide it from Your Excellency, during this time, all the wizards in our sect in the Eastern Continent will either hide or find a way to leave the Eastern Continent." ”

"I didn't dare to show my face in the places I frequented, for fear that the holy woman would point the finger at them."

"I remember last time you said that the acquired corpses would be buried after they were used. So the Church of Dawn is going to take action against your Blood Spirit School wizards? ”

"On the surface, they all maintain restraint, but when something like the new saint girl appears, they will inevitably show their personal strength."

"Well," Wayne nodded, "and do you know where she is now?" ”

"I heard that she is now in the middle of the Eastern Continent, near the city-state of Willis in the Drake Republic." After Franca finished speaking, she asked cautiously, "You are also in the Eastern Continent, are you worried that she will go to your side?" ”

"I guess I have such concerns, but it doesn't have much to do with me." Wayne didn't shy away from the question.

Ever since he knew that the Black Pearl was targeting the Krems Cathedral, he had wondered what cards those Vasquez and Blackjack had in their holes.

You know, the Church of the Dawn was able to establish the city-state of Custer on the west coast, where the Church of Storm was at its strongest, and it left more clerics in the Cathedral of Krems than you could imagine.

Wayne remembered the people he saw on his mission to the cathedral, where there were hundreds of Guardian Knights in the outer circle and even more clergy inside the church.

In addition, Claire said that the combat power of these priests is crazy, I'm afraid that a few director-level transcendents will have to be blocked if they want to break in, right?

"That's good,"

Franta let out a sigh of relief, he didn't want to break off his thighs with such thick thighs.

"I heard that the holy woman traveled all the way to the west, so I don't think I will meet you."

All the way west?

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Wayne secretly said that if he bumped into a saint when the Black Pearl attacked...... Then he'll have fun watching it.

"Hmm,"

Wayne didn't continue to ask, but skillfully summoned the Nightmare Worm, "I've brought some enlightenment potions and healing potions this time, let's trade." ”

"No problem,"

The smile on Franta's face couldn't even be stopped by the distorted black shadow, "The potion you traded to me last time was bought by a few wizards who knew each other, and I also made a small profit of some gold pounds. ”

"Really?"

Wayne didn't mind Franta's middleman making the difference.

As long as he can steadily cash in the potions in his hand, he will have the money to maintain his normal study life.

It didn't take long for Wayne to exit the Nightmare World and complete the deal through the Nightmare Worm and Franta.

Seeing that the money in his pocket returned to three hundred and seventy gold pounds again, he could not express his satisfaction in his heart, and he no longer had to go back to the days of nibbling black bread every day......

Well?

Again?!

"Good afternoon, Mr. Wizard."

“…… Good evening, Mr. Leonard. Wayne looked at Tina, who suddenly appeared in the bedroom, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

Really, it doesn't take more than three seconds to be happy, and something bad happens......

"Look at the way you look, don't you seem to welcome me?"

Tina's eyes turned blood-red, an exaggerated smile appeared on her face, and two pointed tiger teeth gleamed with cold light.

And the clown doll stood next to her, some open palms resting on her shoulders, as if manipulating her body in this way.

"How so? Very welcome, welcome. Wayne laughed dryly, "I wonder if Mr. Leonard is coming over tonight, what show is he going to play?" ”

"No, no, no, not tonight."

The white-haired girl waved her hand and said excitedly, "I found a fun place, take you over to have a look." ”

"Fun place? The city-state of Caster? ”

"Of course," Tina snapped her fingers, her body slowly slumping to the ground.

Wayne looked at the clown doll and opened her mouth, let out a long sigh of relief, and opened her mouth wide to ask, "You, can you borrow her body to move freely?!" ”

"Who told you that I had to borrow her body?"

The clown doll stretched, "On the contrary, if I leave her for too long, she will break down and become distorted. ”

"But I have to admit that this little girl's strength is really terrifying, and it almost crushed me to a bone."

"You mean you're here to protect Tina?"

Wayne was stunned for a moment, this was different from what he had learned before.

I remember that Lacey said earlier that the only way to avoid the distortion of Tina's body is to sign a partnership contract with someone else.

How to ...... now?

"Isn't that weird?"

The clown doll raised his hand and ripped off the buttons, and his hands turned into afterimages to sew the buttons together, "Don't compare me to other taboos, I'm usually quite friendly, aren't I?" ”

Wayne: "...... Be. ”

If you exclude summoning three abyssal creatures to fight him to the death, it can indeed be considered friendly......

"It's a long story, and it's actually the first time I've encountered the Calamity, so it's a fun experience."

"But I'm in Tina's psychic world, and it's funny to see you suppressed by her?"

The clown doll looked sideways at him, a big smile on her furry face, "Has anyone ever told you that there are some things that can't be said too bluntly?" ”

Wayne pursed his lips, less and less afraid of the taboo.

"It's hard for me to understand the ...... of your behavior"

"That's right if you don't understand, just like I don't understand the speed at which your strength is improving."

"Uh, I'm ......"

"Stop! Don't look at me like that," the clown doll interrupted with a raised hand, "and don't tell lies that even the most innocent of people can tell, it's really stupid to do that." ”

"There's only one thing I've remembered in the long years, and that's finding Lilith. So if you help me, I'll naturally help you, it's a fair deal, isn't it? ”

Wayne looked at him in a daze: "You don't look crazy at all now. ”

He really can't explain the speed of strength increase, as long as he has been in contact with him for a while, I'm afraid he can find that there is a problem with the speed of his strength increase.

Such sincere and normal words came out of the mouth of a taboo object, which really subverted the three views that he had so hard established during this time.

"Crazy? Hee-hee-ha......"

The clown doll danced and laughed: "In the future, you will find that it is not me who is crazy, but the whole world!" ”

"Then I hope I never have such a discovery......"

"That's not up to you. Well, it's not too early, and if it's too late, you'll miss a good show. ”

"Huh?"

Before Wayne could react, the clown doll snapped his fingers, and the two instantly appeared in another place.

"Great Lord of the Deep Abyss, King of Darkness! We call upon you with blood and soul, burning flames, overflowing curses, in this dark night, asking you to grant us pain......"

I saw that in an empty and deep wood, under the pouring rain, countless ragged but handsome people knelt on the ground reverently, praising in unison.

Every now and then, a man left the crowd, picked up a dagger at hand, slashed his chest, and took out a trembling heart and placed it on the altar in the middle......

Wayne glanced around, what was this?
