Chapter 208: A Puppet Dancing with the Gods

Relic......

Didn't that relic come from the Eternal Society?

Wayne retrieved the epoch relic with its dark red leather cover from the spatial ring and placed it on the crafting table.

"This?"

"Yes."

Claire looked at the six-pointed star pattern on the cover of the epoch relic, to be precise, a black gem inlaid in the middle of the pattern, "The memory that just appeared tells me that if I want to break the seal later, I will have to get the contents of this ......"

"Oh?"

Wayne looked at the Epoch relic and asked, "Are you sure you did it before this, huh...... Even when we signed the contract of equality, you didn't know how important this relic was to you? ”

"Hmm." Claire nodded affirmatively, "At the time, I just thought it was something I found by accident, and that it might be hiding some secrets from a pre-era. But ......"

She hesitated, thought for a few seconds, and muttered, "Actually, it's been in my hands for years...... Looking back now, I didn't realize that I would have chosen to have you translate it at that time......"

Well?

Wayne's face changed slightly, is this a memory effect, or a cognitive effect?

Just as he hadn't realized the number of Origin Descendants before, Claire felt the same way at this time?

"Actually, I asked you why, do you remember your answer at the time?"

"I, what did I say?" There was a hint of confusion in Claire's eyes, as she had apparently forgotten what she had said.

"You said that there are many people in the Eternal Life Order who know Gonzares, but it is your personal treasure, and I am the only one who is best suited to translate it!"

Wayne stared into her eyes and asked, "These, you don't have an impression?" ”

"Is that how I answered?"

"Yes!"

Claire's gaze fell on the dark red epoch relic, "I, but I only remember that at that time, you said that your strength was very low, but there were some things on your body that fit well with the Gonzarez language, and you had the ability to translate ......"

Compatible with Gonzares?

Wayne's face changed slightly, could it be that in Claire's subconscious, or some kind of mystery prompted her to choose him to translate this epoch relic?

At this moment, the figure of the old man with a white beard appeared in his mind.

Is it because of thatβ€”because of the secrets of the ancient god Gonzalez?

"What else?"

"No, no, that's what I remember saying. Also," Claire shook her head, then a strange look on her face, "I remember that we also signed a contract of equality and promised to do three things for you?" ”

Wayne: "......"

Three pieces?

Ever since I signed the contract, I don't think I've used it once.

Originally, he also thought that when the secret investigation department was in danger of investigating the case, he would ask Claire to help him, but the result was ......

After that, the woman was seriously injured twice, died twice, and was able to make a mess of herself.

"What is certain now is that you didn't notice the anomaly when you asked me to translate the relics, and you didn't realize that this relic was important to you, so ......"

Speaking of this, Wayne looked at the dark red epoch relic placed on the workbench again, "All doubts may only be answered by the content in it. ”

"It should be ......," Claire said a little depressed, "I don't know why things are the way they are, anyway, the translation is up to you, it's very important to me." ”

"Hmm."

Wayne nodded, reached for the relic, and was about to open it.

"Wait!"

Seeing his movements, Claire was stunned for a moment, then her face changed slightly, and she hurriedly said.

"What's wrong?" Wayne looked at her quizzically.

Claire's hands moved unnaturally, and after sensing his gaze, she quickly raised a hand and put it on her forehead and scratched it, laughing dryly, "Don't open it yet, and you can translate it after I leave." ”

"Huh?" Wayne was stunned, "Is this any different?" Don't you want to know what's recorded above? ”

"No, I'd love to know. However, "

Claire's tone was a little uneasy, "Maybe I've just made a breakthrough and want to wait...... Yes, that's it, don't translate it just yet! ”

"Uh, I can't either? Why? ”

"Well, not yet!"

Claire tilted her head, trying not to let Wayne see the slight complexity that flowed from the depths of her eyes, "After I'm done combing through the memories that just appeared, let's open it together and translate the contents, okay?" ”

Combing through memories?

Wayne frowned slightly and looked at Claire, her reaction was really suspicious.

Could it be that there is something else in her memory...... The secret of this epoch relic?

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "I can promise you, but at that time, I can't guarantee that I will be able to fully translate all the content above." ”

Perhaps before that, he thought that the expert Gonzalez language would be able to translate everything on the epoch relics. But after seeing Claire's anomaly, he knew that what was written on it was likely to involve a lot of secrecy, so secret that it would require a further elevation of the Gonzalez level to be fully translated......

"It doesn't matter. And just like that, I went back to rest. ”

Claire stood up and was about to leave the studio with her head bowed, and the moment she grabbed the doorknob, she stopped, turned her head slightly, and said with a slight pleading tone, "You promised me not to open it for the time being, right?" ”

Wayne stared at her delicate side face, was silent for a few seconds, put the epoch relic in his hand into the space ring, spread his hand and said, "I promised you, if you don't open your mouth, I won't open it." ”

At this point, he paused and jokingly continued, "But don't forget, you promised to accomplish three things, well, anything. ”

"Well," Claire was stunned for a moment, and turned to look at him, her bright eyes were clear and deep, and a clean smile appeared on her face, without any hint of charm, "I won't forget!" ”

With that, she pushed the door open and went out, followed by the Dusk Secret Monks.

Squeak, squeak.

The sound of doors closing echoed through the theater stage and studios.

Outside the door, Claire smiled restrictively, looked at the third daughter who was looking up at her at the dining table not far away, nodded slightly to say hello, and went straight back to the lounge that belonged to her.

Sorry, Wayne...... Give me some more time......

I, could I really be a queen?

"What's wrong with her? I feel a little lost. ”

Pavra sensitively sensed Clea's abnormality, and looked suspiciously at the studio that belonged to the evil wizard not far away, and such a beautiful girl had a strange expression......

"It's fine." Sava lowered her head and refocused her attention on the gonzales on the table, "She may have been injured again." ”

"Injured?!" Pavra covered her mouth, "It's evil...... Did Wayne hurt her? ”

"Wayne? No," Sava said with a blank face, "Someone else hurt her, and Wayne treats her every time." ”

Someone else injured her and then treated?

I think of the dried corpses that I just passed by, bound by strips of cloth......

Pavra had a look of remembrance on her face, as if she had seen a similar plot in a best-selling book?

I remember that it was all abusive...... Is it self-harm and healing?

No wonder the beautiful woman just now had that expression, and she walked a little weakly......

Well, it seems that the sound insulation of the rooms here is so good, and it is not for nothing.

It's you, evil wizard!

Tina, who was on the side, raised her head expressionlessly and stared at her for a while before lowering her head and continuing to study.

Tina, Wayne, is that so?

In the studio, Wayne didn't know that Pavra had already made up tens of thousands of words of the plot between him and Claire in such a short time.

At this moment, he took out the epoch relic again, and was looking thoughtfully at the six-pointed star on the cover and the black gem......

What is Claire's secret?

……

……

At the same time, on an island tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Leonard, four huge statues stood in the four corners of the island, each emitting two orange rays of light from its eyes, illuminating the city-state in the middle of the island.

Even if the night fell at this moment, the red moon hung high, and those red halos were still blocked by the eight rays of light.

The city-state was divided into five-story complexes from the outside to the inside, with the houses on the outskirts being the shortest, and the more central the area, the higher the buildings.

In the center, there is a tower hundreds of meters high, with a golden coating that reflects a faint golden halo under the light of the statue.

The tower is ten meters above the ground, and each floor has an area of open air, but these areas are arranged differently.

Some were very simple, with only a few tables and chairs, and a few people dressed as pirates sat talking about something, sometimes looking out of the tower, as if admiring the scenery outside.

Some of them are ornately decorated and arranged like a stage, and several women in cool clothes dance on them, occasionally attracting the applause of the surrounding audience.

Some of the high platforms were arranged as rings, and two or more transcendents fought fiercely in the ring shrouded by rune circles.

No matter how lively the tower was, there was not a single sound coming out, it should be that the entire tower was arranged with a silent rune array, isolating the sound from inside and outside, and also from the sound between the various layers.

In addition to the tower, the rest of the place is also brightly lit at this time, and people come and go.

Especially in the outermost circle, almost all the buildings have a golden wooden sign at the door, on which are written the words "so-and-so tavern" and so on.

"I don't know when I'll be able to get there......"

A sailor dressed in a yellow tarpaulin with the emblem of his ship tattooed on his arm looked enviously in the direction of the tower, especially the cool and beautiful women in the place where the stage had been arranged, and he suddenly felt a little disgusted with the girls in the tavern with thick foundation.

"What do you think? Even our captain, who only has a 1,000 gold pound bounty, doesn't even have the qualifications to enter the second layer, let alone the tower. ”

Next to him, the sailor dressed the same as him pouted and said, "I finally came to Awad Island, why don't you hurry up and think of something real to fill the emptiness that you have accumulated for two months?" ”

"Just talking...... Speaking of which, have you heard about that new group of pirates? The one that killed Captain Henrik. ”

"Redhead? What happened to him? ”

"When I went to the toilet just now, I heard that the aberration-wizard wasn't named Redhead, but one of the leaders of the previous events in the city-state of Caster."

"Huh?" The sailor was surprised: "That guy? Ran to the sea and killed the people of the Black Pearl? ”

"More than that," said the oilcloth-clad sailor, leaning over mysteriously, "I heard from those people that he killed another Knight of the Dawn two days ago. ”

"Wow, well done, he!"

"Who said no, he just went to sea and had such a record, I'm afraid his bounty will be very high later......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Envy ......"

The two looked at each other, sighed at the same time, raised their glasses and touched them together, "Cheers to Captain Garbage!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The aberrant wizard Wayne Lovet, the warrior who dares to challenge the Church of the Dawn! ”

", it's not that there is a ghost school behind it, and if you change it to other transcendentals, who would dare to kill the believers of the Dawn Church so unscrupulously in the Eastern Continent?"

"Like, really when Dawn's horrible fanatics don't exist?"

"I'll bet two gold pounds, and the next time the Church of Dawn strikes, that aberrant wizard will definitely be thrown into the deep sea and fed to those deviants!"

"Follow!"

"Really...... Stupid and false people......"

Sitting in the corner of the tavern, a figure shrouded in black robes, glanced around with cloudy eyes, and let out a low laugh, which was hoarse, as if with a myriad of overlapping voices.

Aberration Wizard ...... After tonight, there will never be again!

At this moment, a man dressed as a pirate appeared in the tavern, leaned straight up to the black-robed man, and whispered a word.

"Oh?"

After hearing this, the figure of the black-robed man disappeared, leaving only a little ash and blood.

And the pirate just wanted to leave, and his arm was accidentally stained with those ashes, and the next second the whole person seemed to be ignited and burst into a fire, causing the lively pirates around to quickly scatter and flee.

"Damn, would anyone dare to make a move here, not afraid of being chased by the Black Pearl?"

"Stop talking nonsense, run away!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Not to mention the panic in the tavern, when the black-robed man reappeared, he had already arrived at a small five-story building closest to the tower.

A golden wooden sign standing downstairs clearly reads - the Golden Diss station.

The black-robed man came out of the shadows, slowly entered the small building, went straight to the top floor, pushed open the door and walked in, and an indifferent voice sounded, "Dis, the mission failed?" ”

In the center of a richly decorated room, a sturdy giant with a height of three meters sat cross-legged on the ground, and several wine barrels were placed on the table in front of him, and the giant was gulping down.

Not far from him, several pirates dressed in different costumes were just like him, drinking and laughing.

Apparently there's a party going on here.

However, when these people saw the black-robed man walk in, their laughter stopped, and even the giant in the middle put down the barrel, "Here you are, Petel Cabrera." ”

His voice was rough, and there were two strange flushes on his face, which he had obviously drunk a lot before.

"Hmph, your people told me that the man who went to snipe the aberration wizard died?"

"Well, dead, that crazy woman Stasi, along with all the monsters under your command, are dead." Giant Dees burped and glared at the black-robed man with a gloomy gaze, "I think you should give me an explanation why your subordinates are being manipulated like waste?" ”

"Manipulated?" The black-robed man was stunned, "Are you sure?" ”

"Of course!"

"Impossible! As true servants of the Master, we cannot be falsely controlled! ”

Click!

The giant slapped the table and held out his hand to the side.

A diminutive girl emerged from behind him timidly and placed a palm-sized gem in his hand.

"It's something from that ship, take a good look!" The giant threw the gem over.

The black-robed man took it, his cloudy eyes brightened, the strip of cloth on his hand loosened slightly, and a trace of ash burrowed into the gem.

The gem suddenly lit up, projecting an illusory screen.

I saw a five-masted sailing ship with white and gold veins slowly emerging in the picture, breaking the waves under the red moon.

Then, like a movie, the rest of the content is played.

Stasi jumped aboard the ship with hundreds of roaring deep-sea aberrations, killing dozens of pirates.

At the same time, the five black-robed people behind her also followed, surrounding a very beautiful woman with an excellent figure.

"Whew, this woman's figure is really good!"

Seeing this, a pirate whistled loudly, and when he was about to say something more, he saw the black-robed man at the door suddenly pull down the black robe, revealing a thin body covered in blood-red cloth underneath, and a stream of ashes mixed with blood shot out from his fingertips.

Burst.

"She's so nice, I'm ...... Forehead? The pirate lowered his head, saw the burning blood hole in his chest, and looked at the black-robed man in a daze, "You ......"

"Quiet!" The black-robed man's eyes were cold, and his gaze was still fixed on the image in the illusory picture.

As soon as the other pirates wanted to get up, they saw the giant in the middle raise his hand and signal them to go back.

"Petle, this is the last time!"

"He's interrupting me watching!"

"Next time, the alliance with your Twilight Sect will end!"

The black-robed man glanced at him, the corners of his mouth hidden under the blood-red cloth moved slightly, as if a smile was raised, "Then follow what you say." ”

"Humph!"

The giant snorted coldly and didn't say anything more, staring at the woman in the picture with a cold gaze.

I saw that the beautiful woman who did not speak like that, after being surrounded by several Dusk Secret Monks, was embarrassed to dodge the attack of ashes and blood.

And just when everyone thought she would die under the strip of cloth, a dazzling black light suddenly appeared on her body.

Stunned everyone in the room.

Black, dazzling?

But after careful observation, the black-robed man had to admit that it was indeed a bright black glow, but that layer of brightness was a layer of hidden power attached to the black glow.

"What kind of transcendent trait is that?" Giant Dees asked with a puzzled expression.

"Soul, sublimated soul!" The black-robed man said indifferently: "There is something wrong with her body, such a huge soul power is by no means something that ordinary transcendents can have. Probably ......"

Soul sublimation?

Dis also reacted, and spit out three words with the black-robed man, "Resurrection!" ”

"Such a scene should be some old monster who has escaped the change of the era......"

Then, as the black glow vanished, the woman in the picture smiled charmingly, her lips slightly open, as if to say something.

The black-robed man looked at the shape of her mouth, and repeated her words in his heart: Dusk, dawn, are just mottled by the sun, and garbage is ......

Blasphemer!

"How dare you blaspheme the Great True Lord!"

The black-robed man glared angrily at the woman in the picture, "Damn heretic! ”

Giant Dees looked at him suspiciously, "What did she say?" ”

"It's not about you!"

The black-robed man replied, and after seeing the countless black silk threads shot out of the woman's hand controlling all the secret cultivators, he couldn't help but have a secret in his mind.

Threads of souls, puppets dancing with gods?

"It's her!?"

"She? Who is she? Dees looked at the startled black-robed man angrily, and said unhappily: "Petel, as a party of the alliance, I also have the right to know who killed Stasi." ”

"No, you're not qualified to know who she is!"

The black-robed man's gaze was a little colder, and after glaring at him, he took back the gem, turned around and walked out, "I'm going to leave for a while, and I'll talk about the next things when I come back!" ”

As the words fell, he quickly left the small building and disappeared into the shadows in the corner.

Dice and several pirates looked at each other, and after a while, the giant picked up the barrel and poured a few more sips, humming, "Twilight Sect!" ”

"Boss, what's next?"

"Wait!"

Several pirates glanced at each other, and they all saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

"Boss, I don't understand why we have to ...... with him"

"Shut up!"

The giant roared and glared at the humans, "You think I want to put up with them? ”

"Then why?"

Bang!

Diess put down the barrel heavily, glaring coldly at the person who spoke, panting as if he wanted to vent his anger.

"Master Diss......"

At this time, the short figure behind him stretched out his hand and patted his arm, and his delicate face still looked timid.

After seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, the girl panicked and hid behind the giant, and whispered, "Don't be angry, you forgot, the captain said that when this matter is over, you will be qualified to enter there......"

There?

The pirates looked at Diess suspiciously, "Boss, where is it?" ”

Diese let out a sigh of relief, and said with a somewhat lonely expression: "Forget it, it's okay to tell you...... Do you remember that half a month ago, Suyad's people approached me, hoping that we could join him against the Black Pearl? ”

"Remember, it has something to do with the Alanika?"

"Well, these bastards are the ones who are with them, what is the Twilight Sect called...... What a damn thing, why don't you say it's the Church of the Dawn? ”

With a hint of resentment on his face, Dice said angrily: "If it weren't for Su Yade promising me that after the matter is over, he would give us a piece of the forbidden sea, how could Lao Tzu agree to let them get on the boat?" ”

"Forbidden Sea?!"

Several pirates had a smile on their faces, "Boss, where is it?" The Sea of Cordo, or the Sea of Mashoman, east of the Eastern Continent? Or ......"

"Southeast," Dice saw their expressions, and understood that no one on the ship could resist the temptation of such a place as a bargain, "this matter must not be revealed, otherwise it will ......"

"Understood, understood!"

And the short figure behind him also quietly let out a sigh, his little hand grabbed the belt around his waist, and his delicate face showed a hint of fascination.

A forbidden sea that can be freely entered and exited...... I wish I could stay in it for the rest of my life and not come out......

……

……

Wayne, on the other side, didn't open the epoch relic in the end.

It's not that he values the agreement with Claire so much, or that he doesn't have curiosity about Claire's secrets, but it just so happens that at this time, the black liaison sounds, and there is something wrong with Teresa's collection of information.

"You mean, Dean Josue can't get his hands on the volume of 'An In-Depth Study of the Transformation of the Undead' written by a legendary wizard?"

"Yes, Director."

Teresa looked a little frustrated, and lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the screen generated by the gray mist, "Lord Dean has already gone to Mentor Boras, but I won't be able to give you feedback until tomorrow at the earliest. ”

"What about the other than that study?" Wayne nodded, not surprised by the problems that arose with the data collection.

The Ghost School is so big, it can't really be a harmony inside.

This has nothing to do with the system of the school, it is purely because of human nature.

"Most of the materials have already been obtained, and some of them have been collected by other research centers and epoch relics, and the dean has already communicated with them, and will make a copy and send it to us as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, Teresa took out a piece of parchment and looked at it, "In addition, Auxerre and they have also obtained some knowledge about mechanical transformation through their own means, but the amount is very small, and most of them only involve the junior wizard stage......

"Hmm,"

Seeing her lost expression, Wayne smiled and said, "For the time being, these are enough, you sort out the information, leave a backup, and send it to me." ”

"You don't wait any longer?" Teresa was stunned, "The knowledge on that legendary research report records the secrets of the structure of undead creatures, and I think it is very important to us. ”

"Let's do some research first, in fact I don't believe in the contents." "For me, they're just references, and I'll get more accurate information through verification and experimentation." ”

"Really?"

"Of course."

Teresa breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest and said, "So I'm relieved...... But I'm sorry, Director, but I want to make this matter easier. ”

"It's okay,"

Wayne looked at the time, and saw that it was not far from the time of the gathering of the Nightmare World Tower, so he planned to temporarily interrupt the call, "Then let's do this first, and the matter of data sorting will trouble you as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, director, I'll sort it out with Escobar and give it to you as soon as possible."

"Okay."

"Goodbye, Director."

Teresa bowed, even if the director didn't mind the matter of the research report, she had already made up her mind in her heart that she must get it!

"Goodbye."

Wayne waved goodbye to her and turned off the contact.

As the screen vanished, Wayne simply packed up the items on the workbench, looked at the epoch relics with the dark red cover, and sighed.

"Forget it, let's wait until Claire thinks it through."

Then he put the relic into the ring again, and then took out the ticket to the Nightmare World and pasted it on the door of his head.

Claire's matter, combined with the few things he had encountered before, the withered trees and aberrations that appeared when he advanced to the meditation method, and the fusion of the origin descendants......

It made him a little more careful about the weirdness of the otherworld.

Wayne now realizes that even with his extraordinary abilities, there are still many strange things he doesn't know about.

In the final analysis, it is still his strength that is not enough......

In the next second, his consciousness reappeared in the area under the tower with the activation of the Nightmare Realm admission ticket.

Speaking of which, it's been a few days since he last entered the Nightmare World, and I don't know if other regions are as chaotic as the Sea of Kordo.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Damn, the heroic saintess has just left, and the judgment saintess has reappeared, the Eastern Continent is really not a place where people can stay! ”

"Are you sure?"

"Of course!"

"Then look at a few guys from the Blood Spirit Sect over there......"

Several dark shadows looked in the direction he was pointing, and they heard the distorted black shadow in the red robe over there shouting, "...... Recycle the corpses of the clergy of the Church of the Dawn at a great price! ”

"They, they must not be from the Eastern Continent!"

"Even if it's not, that's okay...... If they dare to continue to buy the bodies of the priests, it means that the Judgment Maiden is not a great threat to them......"

"That makes sense, the Judgment Saintess Celestia hasn't been on the continent for several years, and the target this time should be the aberrant wizard, what are you desperate sects afraid of?"

"Ho ho ...... Afraid of what? It seems that you still don't know much about the Holy Lady of Celestia. ”

"Oh?"

"As the Judgment Saint of the Church of the Dawn, the most unsightly thing is heresy, not to mention our Desperate Sect, even those sects that don't kill much!"

"Huh?"

"Only you fools who don't know anything will think she's not a threat!"

She ...... , look what I see!? ”

"How...... Well?? Number 600......"

The person who came was none other than Wayne who had not appeared in the Nightmare World for a long time, and this time he still did not choose to hide his original power, and the large number six hundred written in Gonzalez on his head caused all the transcendents around him to panic.

"The Origin Power is more than six hundred...... I'm afraid that the strength has already reached the ruling level, right? ”

"Damn it, be quiet, he, he...... I'm sorry, sir, but I didn't mean to offend you. ”

Those dark shadows hurriedly lowered their heads after seeing Wayne's gaze.

For most of the transcendents and priests who only have captain-level strength here in the transit area, a strong person with a source strength of six hundred is not something they can provoke.

Even in this Nightmare World, with the restrictions set by the Nightmare Sect, it is still the same!

"Go on, I want to know about the Holy Maiden......"
