"Director Armitage?"

The person who appeared in the liaison was none other than the Wraith School's head of intelligence, the werewolf Armitage Fried.

"Team Leader Ween," Armitage said in a flat tone, "First of all, congratulations on successfully joining the Von Enriso Research Center. ”

"Thank you."

So serious?

Wayne looked at the werewolf wizard's expression at this time, and said secretly, such an expression didn't look like he was specially congratulating.

"The Wraith School places a far greater emphasis on researchers than the other four wizarding schools. You can get in there, and it will be great for your wizarding path. ”

"Well, I think so too."

"But at the same time," Armitage's wild vertical eyes stared directly at the figure in the liaison, "I also hope that you will take your identity as the head of the Shadow Special Intelligence Group seriously!" ”

Really...... Do you know that he didn't come specifically to congratulate?

Wayne asked quietly, "I don't know what you're referring to?" ”

"For example, the blessing ceremony that took place in the X1087 Sea last night, such as the Judgment Knight of the Church of the Dawn, Huberto Watson, and the ...... of the Eternal Life Society and the Black Pearl"

Armitage grinned, revealing two sharp teeth, "Such a good battle, and information about some of our ghost's aberrant wizards, but I learned from wizards of other schools...... You say, does it seem that I, the director of intelligence, am very incompetent? ”

"Ah, this, it's my negligence." Wayne touched his nose, and then he realized that the purpose of the intelligence chief to connect the passage was actually to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

"No, it was my negligence!" A slight smile appeared in Armitage's eyes, "When I appointed you as the leader of the Shadow Special Operations Team before, I didn't immediately inform you of the relevant responsibilities. ”

“……”

Hearing this, Wayne was even more embarrassed.

But if you put yourself in their shoes, if he was Armitage, the head of the intelligence department, and his subordinates did such a big thing, he knew about it from other people's mouths......

That kind of scene must be very embarrassing.

"I'm sorry, Director Armitage."

"Team Leader Wayne, you don't have to apologize, you are not at fault for this matter."

Armitage raised a furry paw and swung it, and then said with a very serious expression: "But I hope that in the future, I can pass on information related to the Ghost School to me as soon as possible." In particular, is it okay to kill the intelligence of the Four Righteous Churches or the Black Pearl pirates? ”

"No problem." Wayne nodded, "This is my duty as head of the Shadow Special Intelligence Group. ”

"Good, so we can get on the same page. Of course, our intelligence department has perfect rules, and you will be paid accordingly for every piece of information you submit. I believe you should have known this when you were an intelligence officer in the city-state of Custer. ”

"Hmm."

Intelligence Officer......

Wayne thought of his bitter career as an intelligence officer, and secretly said in his heart, hoping that the intelligence department would not withhold gold pounds like the liaison officer of the Kingdom of Shatland.

"So, please submit what happened last night, it should be fine, right?" A smile appeared on Armitage's face.

"Did you go through everything?"

Others are fine, but it is not convenient to submit information related to the transaction between the Eternal Society and the Black Pearl.

"That's all there is to know about the Church of the Dawn, and I want to know what happened to the blessed Dawn believer. As for whether you join the Eternal Life Society or join the Black Pearl, the school doesn't care. ”

But ask?

Wayne smiled knowingly, "I see." ”

But don't ask, if you can't report it, try not to report it.

"In this respect, the wizarding school is common." Armitage's face was straight, and he said in a serious tone: "On the contrary, the school is happy to see that there are wizards who can go out and grow alone. ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"Well, it's simple. The resources in the school are limited, and the location of the research center is so much, with the long lifespan of wizards, especially wizards who have transformed into undead, they will need a huge amount of resources to grow. Even if the ghost has a deep heritage, it still can't afford it. ”

I see.

Wei En suddenly realized in his heart that wizards need not only knowledge to be promoted, but also need to do a lot of relevant research before they can become their own strength.

If nothing else, let's take Sava as an example.

She learned how to make a mechanical golem, which required a lot of metal materials, and this was just the beginning.

One can imagine how many resources it takes to train an official wizard, archwizard, and legendary wizard......

"On the other hand, the school is not worried about the disaster that wizards will bring if they join other organizations. As long as we don't completely betray the ghost, under normal circumstances, we don't pay too much attention. ”

Speaking of this, Armitage paused, looking at Wayne on the illusory screen, "But a wizard as good as you will still maintain the necessary attention within the school." ”

Wayne laughed dryly, "Director, I wrote down what you said. ”

Necessary attention?

Referring to intelligence gathering, and the letters he received when he was promoted?

"Besides," a smile flashed in Armitage's eyes, "as the leader of the group, I can't always let you be in a group." ”

Wayne raised an eyebrow, is this going to arrange members for him?

Well, Von Enriso had just prepared a few researchers for him, and the Intelligence Department immediately arranged for him to be a member of the Shadow Operation Team......

How do you feel that the Intelligence Division is on the same page as the Research Center?

Or, is it the werewolf chief and the skeleton dean on the bar?

Armitage seemed to see what was in his mind, coughed, and continued:

"Later, I'll pass you a list of Shadow members active in the Kordo Seas, you ......"

"Wait, do you mean all the shadows in the Kordo Seas?"

Wayne looked at the werewolf director in surprise, in such a vast sea area, there should be a lot of Phantom members, right?

Moreover, he had said before that he did not want to serve as a liaison officer in a certain region, so wouldn't this arrangement in fact already give him the duties of a liaison officer?

"No, you only have five permanent team members, and the others are shadows that you can contact for transfer. I will indicate the specifics on the list. ”

Armitiki reacted after a moment's thought, and said with a smile: "I know that you don't want to be a liaison officer, so I won't assign you specific tasks. ”

I didn't expect anyone to dislike the position of liaison officer in their intelligence unit...... That's a position that can be a powerful tool for some people.

Wayne performed a standard wizarding salute, "Thank you, Chief, for understanding that I have a lot to do at this stage, and I don't want to be too distracted." ”

He was quite satisfied with this arrangement, and he didn't have to go out of his way into the plan without a specific task.

And with a fixed team member, he can also arrange the information he needs to them in the form of a mission.

Ahem, it looks like he's going to be a liaison officer......

"Well, you just need to tell the Intelligence Service about the ghosts. By the way, there is one more thing I need to remind you of. ”

"Speak, please."

Armitage said meaningfully: "The Sawyer family has a great relationship with the school, and it is best for you to get along well with that heir, I believe it will help you in the future." ”

"House Sawyer?" Wayne was stunned for a moment, thinking of the kind girl he had seen before, "You can't be talking about Vivian Emma Sawyer, right?" ”

"It's her, it seems you know who she is." Armitage blinked and said with a slight urgency: "Then you must not know her family background." ”

Wayne shook his head, "Well, I really don't know. It was also an accident that she was able to be on my boat. ”

That kind girl's family still has a deep background, is it related to the ghost school?

"Just remember what I say, it won't hurt you."

Armitage was reluctant to say more, although for wizards, the family was something that had to be discarded, but the one of the House of Sawyer was different......

"I see."

Wayne nodded, not expecting Claire to have a connection with the ghost the girl she rescued casually, and it seemed that she would have to be reminded later.

"Finally, this morning there was news from the Dawn Church that you had killed Huberto in the Sanctuary. St. Jobin XV himself spoke and demanded that the judgment of the Saintess Celestia Edas lead her legion of judgment to hunt you down. ”

Speaking of this, Armitage's expression was obviously much more serious, "Selistia is not limited by the power of faith like Huberto, she has completely mastered the 'power of judgment', and her strength is comparable to that of a legendary-level transcendent, and in some ways, it is even far more than a legendary-level. ”

The Holy Maiden of Judgment, the legendary strength?

The Church of Dawn is really biting him!

Wayne's eyes narrowed slightly, "Thank you for the reminder, I'll be careful." ”

"If you can, I want you to learn more about divination, even if not to the level of a prophet, at least have the ability to deviate from the guidance of fate, which will be very helpful for your next journey."

"Divination Knowledge ......"

Wayne thought of his previous guess when the Grand Knight of the Judge discovered his whereabouts, could the divination results be deflected?

But where to find it?

I remember that there is no knowledge of divination on the exchange list I saw before......

"I don't know this knowledge, can the school directly exchange it?"

"Nope."

Armitage shook his head, "That's the knowledge of the most hidden core system of the Spiritual Mystery School, the fate divination system, you can only figure it out by yourself." Although we ghosts also have some knowledge of divination, it is not systematic, and it will not be of limited help to you, and it will not have the effect of deviating the guidance of fate. ”

"Of course, you have other options......"

"What choice?" Wayne asked.

"One is to ask a legendary-level wizard of the fate divination system of the Spiritual Secret School to set up a fate barrier for you, and the other is for you to advance to a legendary-level wizard."

Wayne: "......"

Legendary ......

Damn, if he wants to have such an ability, will he be afraid of the pursuit of the Church of the Dawn?

Come and kill one by one, it's all fertilizer that increases his survival points and attributes!

Armitage also seemed to know that neither method was feasible, and coughed: "Okay, that's all I have to say, do you have anything to ask?" ”

"No ......"

"Then, see you next time, Captain Wayne."

Before he could finish speaking, the figure of the werewolf director disappeared into the illusory screen, and the black liaison followed closely to restore calm.

Wayne looked at the black liaison that had no fluorescent light for a long time before letting out a long breath, "Celestia Edas, the Judgment Saint of the Church of the Dawn......"

The Church of the Dawn really looked up to him, and even the legendary-level priests were sent out.

Wayne thought of Euan's attack last night, the several deep-sea beasts that were summoned that were comparable to the third-level calamity, and the legendary fire elemental spell......

With such terrifying strength, with the blessing of the Joker and Tina, he can't beat it, right?

It seems that it is necessary to ask about the so-called fate divination system of the Spiritual Mystery School......

Wayne looked up at the ghosts, if he could have a few more Origin Descendants, it might not be impossible to learn the fate divination system.

Hey, I can only prepare first.

Or directly invite a legendary fate system wizard to bless him with a fate barrier......

Wayne shook his head, no longer thinking about the Church of the Dawn. If he really can't stop the other party at that time, he will hide in the theater space and lose at most one ship.

Immediately after, he sat down at the workbench and took out a pen and paper, ready to form information about what happened last night.

Of course, he only intended to record information about the Church of the Dawn, such as the killing of Huberto and the others, the Dawn Blessing Ceremony, and the acquisition of the good authority Pavra......

He didn't say a word about the Eternal Society and the Black Pearl.

While writing the information, Wayne sighed with emotion, "I didn't expect that in the past ten days, I would do something similar to that of an intelligence officer......

But emotion to emotion, his mood improved, and there was a sense of familiarity back to the city-state of Caster.

Soon, he put away the parchment he had written, wrote down the recipient, Armitage, and sent it out in a blue and white box.

Buzzing......

A minute later, the blue and white boxes rang out again, accompanied by a series of clanging sounds.

The sound of the golden pound?

There should be a lot of such a long-lasting sound?

Wayne opened the blue and white box, and a golden light came into view.

"1,500 gold pounds?! So many?! ”

As it turned out, he still underestimated the generosity of the intelligence department and underestimated the greed of the previous liaison officer of the Kingdom of Shatland......

Hell, if he had such an income when he was in Custer before, would he join the Secret Investigation Division to take an adventure?

Wayne pursed his lips in displeasure, and the appearance of Liaison Officer Olivia came to mind.

I don't know what happened to that zombie now.

I wish she had been commissioned to do some interesting experiments!

Then he put away the gold pounds, took out the pamphlet in the blue and white box, opened it and glanced at it.

Above is the information of the Shadow members in the waters of Cordo, according to Armitage, with only their code names, the internal number of the special liaison, and their location and identity.

The five people recorded at the top are the five members of his special intelligence group, followed by the Phantom members who are scattered in all corners of the Kordo Sea.

Only three hundred and forty-two ghosts?

Wayne put away the list and muttered, "It's a lot less than I thought." ”

He also thought that with the vastness of the Kordo Sea, the number of Phantoms should reach at least more than a thousand, but he didn't expect that there were only more than three hundred.

"I'll contact them later if I need to."

With that in mind, Wayne pulled out another blank piece of parchment, then took out the exchange list and looked at it.

Now he is only one step away from meeting the conditions for advancing to a high-level wizard, and he is only one spell imprint, and his basic attributes and origin power have met the requirements.

Coupled with the survival points he had just obtained, it was enough for him to upgrade his newly learned spells to level three.

"If you count the Soul Devouring Spell, only the number of spells of the Ghost meets the conditions at the moment, and the Driver, Red Heart, and Secret Master are all only one spell brand away......"

Soon, Wayne selected three spell knowledge scrolls.

The effect of the puppet rage of the mechanical puppet system is to overload the rune circle on the puppet's body to achieve the effect of temporarily increasing its strength, but it has certain side effects - after each use, you need to rest for a day to accumulate rune energy.

Flesh Enhancement System's Shadow Step, which is a spell that increases the user's speed.

Yesterday's battle with Huberto made it clear to Wayne the limitations of elemental spells, so he needed to increase his speed when he couldn't use the blink spell.

As for the elemental spell, this time he chose a water elemental spirit, after all, he was now on the Sea of Cordor, and it was necessary to learn an elemental spell suitable for the environment.

It didn't take long for a voice to come from the blue and white box, and Wayne took out three knowledge scrolls from it.

"Five-fold exchange, saving a lot of money."

The three scrolls were worth 1,500 gold pounds, and he only had to pay 750 gold pounds to redeem them.

For that reason alone, his decision to join the Von Enriso Research Center was not a loss.

With that in mind, Wayne opened one of the scrolls and began to copy the rune patterns as he read the contents in an attempt to master them as quickly as possible.

……

……

Just when Wayne was trying to further improve his strength, a special meeting was being held in the ice castle of the distant northern continent.

“…… Dean Josue, congratulations on having one more powerful researcher. ”

The skeleton wizard Josue Sexton leaned back in the high-backed chair for a long time, the two skeleton paws overlapped, and clicked: "This is inevitable, the strength of the von Enriso Research Center, everyone here should know it, right?" ”

"Hehe, I don't know if you, as the head of the Von Enriso Research Center, know the strength of Wizard Wayne Loft at this time?"

Sitting across from him was also a necromancer, but unlike Josue, this was a zombie, and he didn't smile and said in a stiff tone, "The wizard who can kill the Grand Knight of Judgment, Huberto Watson...... Not to mention wizards, even great wizards can do it, not much! ”

"I don't know his strength, so what?" Josue's deep red eyes stared at the zombie and snorted, "It's not about his evaluation of being an excellent researcher!" ”

"Now we're talking about his strength, not about his potential in research, Josue."

"So what? What does this have to do with you? ”

"You ......"

"That's it!" Boras, who was sitting at the top, raised his hand to interrupt the argument between the two, and said in a cold tone: "Quartmock Stevenson, as Josue said, this time is to discuss how to deal with the Church of the Dawn, not to focus on Wayne. ”

“……”

Josue was overjoyed, "The teacher is right, the matter of Wayne is not the key, but he has now provoked the Dawn Church, and we have to discuss how to protect him." ”

"Protection?" The zombie wizard Quartmock pouted, "What protection?" That's the Saint of Judgment, a legendary-level priest, even if a legendary-level wizard is sent over, it may not be able to protect it, you can't ask for those taboos for him alone, right? ”

"Why not, I ......"

"Shut up!"

Borras slapped the table lightly, and although it was not loud, the whole room fell silent instantly.

Except for a few who had been in contact with Wayne, the other wizards were all arms crossed, looking like they didn't care about themselves.

As for the zombie wizard Quartmok, although he slandered the pair of mentors and students in his heart for acting, he also kept his mouth shut and did not dare to speak again.

"Armitage, tell me about Wayne."

The werewolf wizard sat at the bottom of the seat, and it was clear that his status was not high compared to everyone present.

"Wizard Boras, just now I got in touch with Wizard Wayne and got him to submit an account of yesterday's battle, please take a look at it first."

As he spoke, Armitage stood up respectfully, placed a piece of parchment in front of Boras, and returned to his seat before continuing: "According to what he said above, the main reason for killing the Grand Knight of Judgment this time is a taboo - Taboo 2-77 Karel's muttering ......"

"Therefore, I speculate that he should be a beginner wizard, comparable to a ruling ......"

"Just the ruling level?"

Boras looked at the contents of the parchment, thought for a few seconds, and made a decision: "In that case, then according to the rules of the ghost, his rating will be upgraded by one level, and the same will be done for the church of the dawn!" ”

"Yes! Lord Boras! ”

Josue was relieved in his heart, although his rating had only been upgraded by one level, and he could not arrange legendary wizard protection for Wayne, but there would be more tilt in resources, which would improve his strength in disguise.

However, he also knew that it was not enough to rely on these resources to deal with the Holy Maiden of Judgment!

Wayne Lovett...... The rest is up to you! ”

……

……

At the same time, in the theater space, Wayne had already drawn three spell runes completely, followed by the research of merging with the Death Origin Rune.

You have successfully drawn the Golem Rage Rune. Special Rewards: +3 Survival Points, +1 Spirit Level. 】

【……】

You have successfully drawn the Water Elemental Spirit (Grim Reaper) Rune. Special Rewards: +3 Survival Points, +1 Spirit Level. 】

[Congratulations on obtaining a full-level rune knowledge, and your rune proficiency progress: 17/100.] Special Reward: Spirit Level +1. 】

"It feels good this time!"

Wayne looked at the three brand-new runes that fused with the Death Origin Rune, and now it was up to him to see what kind of amplification effect he would get after the brand.

In fact, every time he branded the Grim Reaper Fusion Rune, he had a feeling of touching the prize.

I don't know if there is such an existence as Lady Lucky, but I hope that his relationship with Oranelle, the god of death, will be better......

After the upgrades, Wayne kept imprinting new spell rune patterns on the back of the driver's head.

[You have successfully branded the Shadow Step Rune (Death) and learned the Shadow Step (Death), level 1. Rating: Oh, now I have to revise my evaluation of you - strong chicken. Special Rewards: Survival Point +10, Tenacity Level +3, Spirit Level +3. 】

[Note 1: Shadow Walk (Reaper) Level 1, Tenacity Cost 10/second, Effect: When activating the spell, it consumes 10 Tenacity Level per second, increases movement speed by 10%, and allows you to stay in the shelter of the Death Realm for 10 seconds. 】

[Note 2: Each level of Shadow Walk (Reaper) increases movement speed by 10% and its duration increases by 5 seconds.] 】

[Note 3: The protection of the Dead Realm will not let you go deep into the Dead Realm, and your eyes will still stay in the Overworld. 】

【……】

[You have successfully branded the Water Elemental Spirit (Grim Reaper) and learned the Water Elemental Spirit (Grim Reaper), level 1...... Special Rewards: Survival Point +10, Tenacity Level +3, Spirit Level +3. 】

[Note 1: Water Elemental Spirit (Grim Reaper) Level 1, Spirit Cost 200, Effect: In the name of Death's Oranel, give the Water Elemental Spirit attack a death trait, lasting 1 minute.] 】

[Note 2: Water Elemental Spirit (Reaper) Level 1 will have 10% of the user's Spirit Level, Resilience Level and Origin Strength.] 】

[Note 3: For each level of the Water Elemental Spirit (Reaper), the spirit consumption is reduced by 10%, the duration is increased by 1 minute, and the increase in the number of attributes with the user is increased by 10%. 】

Wayne couldn't help but smile with satisfaction as he looked at the introduction of the three spells on the panel, as well as the survival points they needed to level up.

"Good luck! In addition to the unsatisfactory effect of the puppet rage spell, which only requires 20 survival points to upgrade, the Shadow Step and the Water Elemental Spirit upgrade require 50 survival points, which is considered to be the same level of amplification effect as the Claw of the Undead Boiling Blood spell! ”

I don't know when I can let him have another spell similar to the heart of flesh and blood, such a powerful effect, even if it takes more survival points, he is willing.

Thinking like this, Wayne continued to add points, consuming survival points to upgrade these three spells to level three.

Shadow Walk (Reaper) Level 1 (1/50)...... （50/50）。

[Shadow Walk (Reaper) Level 1 (50/50), is it increased?] 】

【Lift.】 】

[Congratulations, your skill: Shadow Walk (Grim Reaper) level 1 has been upgraded to level 2.] Effect: When activating a spell, it consumes 10 Tenacity levels per second, increases movement speed by 20%, and allows you to stay in the shelter of the Dead for 15 seconds. 】

【……】

[Water Elemental Spirit (Grim Reaper) Level 3 (5000/5000), is it increased? 】

【Lift.】 】

[Congratulations, your skill: Water Elemental Spirit (Reaper) level 3 has been upgraded to level 4.] Effect: In the name of Oranel, the god of death, summons four water elemental spirits, whose attacks have the characteristics of death, and have 40% of the user's spirit level, tenacity level, and origin power, and last for 4 minutes. 】

[Your wizard level meets the promotion conditions, will you be promoted?] 】

[Yes.] 】

[Congratulations, your class: Wizard, level up to High Wizard!] Special Rewards: Survival Point +400, Tenacity Level +100, Spirit Level +400. 】

"It's finally a high-level wizard!"

Wayne upgraded the spell he had just branded to level four in one go, and then chose to be promoted to a high-level wizard, so that half of the survival points he had just obtained were directly gone, leaving only 13,500 points.

For the time being, it can only be improved so much, and the spells on the panel, except for the heart of flesh and blood, have been upgraded to level four and five, and there are too many survival points needed, so you can only accumulate some survival points later.

However, the result is good, one step closer to the Great Wizard.

Thinking of this, Wayne took out a piece of parchment again, used Gonzalez, and chose to exchange the codex for the promotion of wizard to grand wizard......

PS: Although this chapter has a lot of words, it's not a plus, it's a compensation for not adding a change yesterday, but the title forgot to change, don't care about these details.
