Taboo 0-38 True Bell ......

Taboos formed at the beginning of the Second Age......

Three abilities, three states, one more perverted than the other?

Wayne looked at the barrage of prompts on the panel, his brow furrowed.

It was clear that someone was using that taboo to lock his location, and was even willing to pay with their own lives for it......

Who is so generous?

No, it should be said who wants to find him?

A few names pop into Wayne's mind, Church of the Dawn, Cult of Twilight, School of Wizards?

With what he has done since he came to this world, only these three organizations will pay so much attention to him......

But after thinking about it one by one, Wayne still didn't have a specific goal.

First of all, it had been two days since he had killed the Grand Knight of Judgment of Dawn, and the Lady of Judgment should have been on her way to where he was, most likely using the Forbidden Object to lock his location.

Secondly, the people of the Dusk Sect also have the possibility of further hunting him down, especially since several secret monks died on his side yesterday.

The Last School of Witches...... The reason why he had such suspicions was the point in time when the forbidden item appeared, and it happened to be after he announced the defects of the spell runes in the Nightmare Realm World, which had to arouse his association......

And if it's a wizarding school, first eliminate ghosts, they want to find it, and they don't need to be so troublesome at all.

The second is the mechanical school and the blood spirit school, these two schools do not focus on runes, and should not be specially found for the defects of spell runes.

Then the only ones who can do such things are the Occult and Shadow Schools......

"Secret ......"

Wayne frowned, if it was the Spiritual Secret School, it would be troublesome.

He also needed knowledge of the Occult School's Destiny Divination System, or the Destiny Barrier Spell.

Or is there a more secretive organization that has taken an interest in him?

Wayne recalled the black castle in his dream, as well as the bright hall and the few vague figures on the high stairs, and couldn't help but show a wry smile, "Tsk! You used such a taboo against me......"

Then, following the prompts on the panel, he attempted to alter the Origin Power to delay the taboo's locking of his position.

Talent - Spiritual Transformation, Resilience Level Conversion to Origin Strength, Seven Hundred.

[You are guided by the Forbidden Item 0-38 True Bell...... Special Rewards: +50 Survival Points, +1 Spirit Level. 】

You are ...... Reward: +50 survival points. 】

The prompt message that pops up every ten seconds comes to an abrupt end.

Wayne waited for a few seconds, and after seeing that no new prompts were popping up on the panel, he breathed a sigh of relief, "It works, but I don't know how long it can be delayed." ”

It seems that the priority of that fate barrier spell must be raised one notch!

I only hope that the little worm can bring him good news from the Occult School, and it is best to give it to him along with the knowledge inheritance of those fate divinations......

Well, unless the Esoteric School is crazy......

It's impossible to think about, in fact, after communicating with Wizard Nana, he gave up his knowledge of divination of fate.

With this in mind, Wayne washed up briefly, dressed up, and walked out of the lounge.

"Good morning, Wayne."

Miss Zombie stood outside the rest area, leaning slightly, looking sideways at him, "Breakfast is ready." ”

"Hmm."

Wayne nodded at her and turned to look in the direction of the table, smiling.

By this time, everyone except Sava was already sitting quietly at the table, waiting for him to eat.

Tina held the two dolls and looked at the cheese on the table without blinking, as if she had an appetite.

Pavra sat at the end, her hands clenched into fists on her knees, looking in the direction of the lounge area.

"You're up late today," Clea asked, leaning back in her chair, clasping her hands around him, looking at him with a smirk, "Did you do something bad last night?" The kind of exhausted~"

"I've done a lot of things, and it's hard to judge whether it's bad or not," Wayne smiled, pulled out his chair and sat down, "Eat." ”

"Praise the Great Dawn and thank you for ......"

At this time, Pavra hurriedly clasped her hands together and muttered words in her mouth.

Wayne just wanted to reach out for food, but after hearing her words, he couldn't help but interrupt: "Stop!" ”

"Thank you......" Pavra opened her eyes and pouted, "Don't interrupt me, this is what every Dawn Servant has to do before eating......"

"Understandable, but not necessary."

Wayne took two pieces of bread and put them on the plate, put another piece of cheese between them, and took a bite and said, "I have provided these foods, but not the great dawn in your mouth." ”

"You? I still did this, so do you want to thank me? ”

"Thank you."

Wayne thanked him casually, but there was no sincerity in his words.

“……”

Pavra was a little dumbfounded, she thought that the evil wizard couldn't say such words of thanks, but she didn't expect him to be so thick-skinned......

Helpless, she had no choice but to pick up the dessert in front of her and eat it, every bite was like a bite on Wayne, heavy and ruthless.

The others listened to the two of them arguing without any change in their faces.

Only Claire's eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness, and she smiled: "Captain, it seems that you are in a good mood today~"

Not bad?

Wayne looked down and ate his breakfast, and as soon as he woke up, he found that he had been stabbed in the back with a taboo object, so it was strange that he was in a good mood.

So, just when he heard Pavra muttering about the dawn, he interrupted.

Just because the Church of the Dawn is not a good thing, what is the difference between praising the Dawn and praising the enemy?

"I'll be busy with other things next, so I'll leave it to you outside."

"Oh?"

Claire was a little surprised, she expected Wayne to ask her about the relics of the era, but she didn't expect to say a word......

This is even more than the long list of lies she made up last night!

"The matter on the ghost's side," Wayne explained simply, "I agree to join the school's research center, and I need to lead someone to complete the research on the subject. ”

In addition, he also needs to manage his identity as a wizard, or through the identity of the director of Research Institute 66, to understand more and more deeply about this world.

As happened this morning, if he knew more secrets, or had more information, he would have been able to deduce the location of the taboo and deduce who had done it to him.

Strength is important, but now he knows that if there is no reliable force behind him, there are many things that worry him.

However, it is really embarrassing to mention the two forces to which he belongs.

In the Ghost School, strictly speaking, he is not a wizard cultivated by ghosts, but just a peripheral intelligence officer.

This is well known to both the higher-ups of the school and to him, which is why the ghost spares no effort to show favor to him.

As for the Eternal Life Society that he just joined, he is even more of a supernumerary, more like a mercenary than a member, and he still doesn't know the details of the Eternal Life Society.

Therefore, all things considered, whether it is for himself or for Miss Zombie's mechanical transformation, he intends to complete the research in order to improve his position in the ghost.

"That's ......"

Claire breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the things she made up last night would not be used for the time being.

"If nothing else, I'll stay in the research area."

"Then I see, it just so happens that those cute guards need time to grow up, and I'll take some time to go outside."

"Well," Wayne nodded, "don't forget to remind him to refit that ship when it comes to the next island." ”

"Okay," Claire asked after breakfast, "aren't you going to go with you then?" ”

"It depends."

Wayne gave an ambiguous answer, there was still some time before the island where the sailboat would be repaired, and in the meantime, he needed to get as much of the fate barrier spell of the Occult School as possible, as well as the experimental work related to the subject.

Otherwise, the Church of the Dawn, the Cult of Twilight...... Or the unknown existence of the forbidden object used against him, it was like a sword hanging over his head, pulling some of his energy.

"Then I see."

Seeing him say this, Claire got up and walked towards the training area, and when she put her hand on the doorknob, she turned her head and asked, "You, why didn't you ask me about that artifact?" ”

Wayne was stunned for a moment, and after he understood, he couldn't help but cry and laugh a little and said, "When you want to tell me, you will naturally say it." Until then, even if I ask, I guess you won't be telling the truth, given your character. ”

“…… What you know about me - too little! ”

With that, Claire pushed the door open and slammed it shut.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she looked up at the eyes of the guards who were training, "What are you looking at?" Has this queen taught you transcendent pujas? ”

When did Wayne know so much about himself?

Hmph, I even suspect that this queen will lie...... Next time, he won't be able to guess!

Wayne didn't know that he didn't ask questions that might have involved privacy out of respect, and that it would break Clea's heart, as he had just said, he had a lot going on right now.

After breakfast, he asked Tina and Sava to continue their Gonzares lessons.

As for the alternate saintess of Dawn, Wayne didn't let her sit idle, and arranged a bunch of things for her to clean up the theater, such as wiping the stage, the auditorium, and setting up the entire stage.

Although these are small things, based on his observations of Pavra in the past two days, he should be competent enough for these tasks.

With that done, he made a beeline for the workspace to check on Zero's progress in crafting the mechanical golem.

"Are you already doing the final assembly? It's going fast. ”

"Father," Zero fiddled with the parts on the ground, already piecing together the core rune part of the mechanical golem, "can you help me see if the core circle is okay?" ”

Wayne looked at the parts and nodded, "No problem, the parameters and the marking pattern of each part are perfect, but ......"

He glanced at the parts piled up in the corner, and couldn't help but ask, "How much have you made here?" ”

"I'm sorry," Zero scratched his head embarrassedly, "some parts in the middle are too delicate, I, I've made mistakes a few times." ”

"How many times? That bunch doesn't look like ......."

However, Wayne was only joking.

Compared with the simple grinding of parts, the rune engraving, which requires stricter requirements, needs to maintain the stability of spiritual power, and with the current strength of the Zero Style, without the supplement of the Enlightenment Elixir, he can do this step to meet his requirements.

Next, Zero only needs to practice a lot, and by the way, increase the level of the core runes to increase the success rate of the engraving before starting the next step.

Seeing this, Wayne didn't leave in a hurry, and only after the Zero was assembled and completed a series of tests did he drop a request to continue making and return to his studio.

Of course, Zero, who was happily jumping around with a mechanical golem at this moment, did you hear his request...... He didn't know.

Well?

As soon as he entered the studio, Wayne saw the blue-and-white striped chest placed on the workbench flickering, indicating that someone had a new item coming from his ghost.

He opened the blue and white box and took out the contents and looked at it, "It's ...... again."

It wasn't the information he had guessed had been sent from the Institute, but a letter with the words Wraith Wizard Management on it.

Was it a reward for discovering that his wizard level had increased?

Then he took out the letter and read it.

"Dear Director Wayne Lovett."

"There are two things I need to inform you of this letter."

"One, according to the notice of the Legend of Bolas, the ghost will arrange for all research institutes to investigate all the spell runes in the school, and the main investigation content is as follows: two defects in the spell runes......"

Seeing this, Wayne frowned, these were the two flaws he revealed in the Nightmare World last night......

So, after learning about the flaws of the flickering spell, the ghost directly ordered the research to investigate all the spell runes?

Lie X, this kind of response is really beyond his expectations.

According to his speculation last night, the various schools may investigate other spell runes after verifying that the flaws in the flickering spell runes are true, but that should be a few days later, at least after the second one with the same rune defect is discovered, right?

Unexpectedly, it didn't even take a day, and only a few hours had passed, and the ghost directly ordered to check all the spell runes......

"Now it seems that the location of the forbidden object last night should be related to the defect of the spell rune!"

It's just that who it is, Wayne can't be sure yet.

But what he can be sure of is that his previous speculation is probably also correct - the flaws of the spell runes are not clear to the school!

Moreover, it is not only the Spectres that have similar flaws, but the other schools of thought should have them as well!

Thinking of this, Wayne continued to look at the contents of the letter.

“…… The above is a detailed description of the two defects. For more specific assignments, you can contact the director of your research center, Josue, who will send you a detailed list. ”

"In addition, the secrecy of this matter is classified as top secret, and no information about this incident can be disclosed to anyone outside the school. Otherwise, you will be punished by the school! ”

"As for the second thing!"

"Director Wayne Love, or as you should be called, Your Excellency the 'Faceless' Great Wizard, please contact the Wizard Administration as soon as you see this letter, and I will inform you of this matter personally!"

"Death is not the end of the quest for knowledge - Ghost School Wizard Administration, Sheldon Fosquet."

Faceless?!

When Wayne saw the 'Faceless Great Wizard' on the parchment, his breathing stagnated for a few seconds, and his heart beat even faster.

The ghost already knows that he is the faceless of the Nightmare World?

How is that possible, I ...... Well?

Wayne looked at it a few more times, and vaguely sensed that there was something wrong with the wording.

Why, it can't be what he thinks, right?

"What a wizard administration, that's good!" Wayne shook the letter out, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and "almost got tricked out......

For a split second, he really believed that the ghost had somehow deduced that he was Faceless.

But if the ghost really knew his identity, would it be so simple to write a letter to him through someone in the wizarding administration?

The reason why he was sure that the second paragraph was a lie from the ghost was simple.

From the first thing about checking for spell runes, it is not difficult to see how seriously the spirits attach to the defects of spell runes.

And the notification written by someone through the wizarding management office is obviously extremely inconsistent with that attention, at least Dean Josue should have contacted him personally, or simply the legendary wizard of the school came forward, right?

From this, Wayne reacted and breathed a sigh of relief.

I have to say that the person who can come up with such a method to lock the identity of the 'faceless' great wizard is really a talent, and he actually engaged in mass sending scam letters in the wizarding world......

Okay, okay, that's it, right?

Buzz Buzz......

At this moment, the black trophy on the table rang out.

Wayne's mood that had just relaxed tightened again, it shouldn't be Dean Josue......

He took a deep breath and pressed the switch on the black trophy liaison.

"Dear Director Wayne Lovet, Internal Number 11346, Wizard Teresa Illina Silveira, I would like to request that a passage be established with you?"

Theresa?

It's okay......

Wayne calmed down and said, "Agreed." ”

"Good morning, Director." Teresa was wearing the gold-rimmed glasses, and when she saw his figure, she said with a bright smile.

"Good morning, Teresa." Wayne nodded lightly and asked, "Is there any new progress on the research institute?" ”

Teresa pulled out a long piece of parchment, "After me and Senior Escobar, we have backed up all the materials sent by the school. ”

"At present, there are 432 research reports, most of which are related to the biological modification of undead, and only 12 research reports are related to mechanical modification."

"In addition, there are one hundred and twenty volumes of epoch relics, and again, only two volumes of knowledge about the mechanical school."

"There are only more than 400 research reports on the transformation of the undead?"

Wayne frowned, even if you count those era relics, it would be less than six hundred......

With the accumulation of several epochs of ghosts, it should be more than that, right?

"Yes, yes." Theresa's expression was a little arrogant, and she said, "Dean Josue said that there is only so much that can be obtained at present......

"Okay, you can return the original to the research center, and send me a new copy."

Wayne didn't dwell too much on it, these materials were just to provide auxiliary reference for his research on the topic, and the possibility of being useful was not high.

"It's been transcribed."

Teresa breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully following Oshana's advice last night and copying two scrolls.

Thinking like this, she turned her head sideways and gestured to Oshana not far away, causing several smiles on Oshana's faces.

"Do you have anything else to command?"

"I didn't ...... Yes! Wayne thought for a moment and asked, "There was just a notice from the school that it was going to carry out the investigation of the spell runes?" ”

Teresa was stunned, "You got it?" ”

"Huh? Shouldn't I have received it? ”

"I'm sorry director," Teresa quickly explained, "That's right, we were notified of this last night. However, Dean Josue said that since you are not here with von Enriso, you don't need us to be involved in this matter. ”

"But he also said, let's obey Mentor Boras's orders, not to leave the institute, and not to contact anyone else from the outside world except you......"

"Forbidden?" Wayne's expression was a little more serious, and the ghost's reaction was even more serious than the letter said.

"Yes, the notice says that after checking all the spell rune defects, we will be notified to lift the relevant restrictions."

Teresa looked at the others again, silently asking if there was anything missing?

Escobar and the others quickly shook their heads, then nodded frantically, and danced at her, indicating that there was one more thing to say.

"That's right!" Teresa recalled for a few seconds, patted her forehead, then looked at Wayne in the picture and said, "Director, there is one more thing." ”

"Say."

"It is said that the rune defects mentioned in the notice were raised by a great wizard within the school. But it's strange that he didn't publish it in the school journal, but through a gathering of wizards in the Nightmare world under a false identity......"

"Is it called Faceless?"

"I guess," Teresa said embarrassedly, "I was busy preparing those materials last night, and I didn't pay much attention to them...... I only know that so far the school has not yet known the specific identity of the great wizard, and it is investigating. ”

Really!

Now it is not clear to the school that he is faceless.

"Investigation? Then I got it. ”

"What's wrong? Director. Seeing his strange expression, Teresa couldn't help but ask, "Did the school also arrange for you to participate in the investigation?" ”

"No, it's that when I first received the notification, there was a paragraph on it that I couldn't understand."

Wayne said quietly: "Now that I think about it, it should be the unique investigation method of the management office. ”

He gestured to the brained man in the wizarding office again.

If he hadn't reacted at the time, he would have been in contact with Sheldon Faulskate through the Wizarding Administration.

"It should be ......"

Although Teresa didn't quite understand his words, she didn't pay much attention to it, and instead smiled, "You don't know how lively the school was last night because of the flickering spell rune defect. ”

"I don't know about the other research centers, but on Von Enriso's side, except for our research institute and the No. 1 research institute where Dean Jossuet is located, all the other research institutes are doing relevant tests."

"It has been busy for three hours before the Fifth Research Institute Grand Wizard Nilg took the lead in announcing the research report, and was praised by Dean Josue, and even specially allocated a sum of gold pounds just now."

"Really?" Wayne asked thoughtfully, "Then has there been any research to confirm whether other spell runes have similar flaws?" ”

"Yes, it was also tested by the Great Wizard of Nilg, and in the morning, I heard someone mention that so far, four spell runes have been discovered......"

Four?

Wayne nodded, "Since Dean Josue didn't arrange for our institute, then our focus is still on subject research. After I've read all the information, I'll tell you what's next, as well as the relevant research arrangements. ”

"Just wait for the director's notice!"

Teresa patted the small hanging bell, looking very confident in the research of the subject.

"But don't let up, take a look at the research materials during this time, and prepare the undead creatures and mechanical materials according to the previous plan."

Wayne pondered: "The undead creatures are mainly zombies, and the body structure is more suitable for the human body, as for the materials that can be used for mechanical transformation...... Teresa, I'll leave it to you, all kinds of materials will be some first, and you can use them later. ”

"No problem!"

Theresa had a smile on her face, the problem that could be solved with money was not a big problem for her!

"Then get here first."

When Wayne saw her expression, he knew that he didn't have to worry about the lack of research funding in the future.

There is such a rich woman in the institute...... Comfortable!

It didn't take long for the blue and white box to ring again, and Wayne took out the spatial ring containing the research materials inside, preparing to read all the materials today.

Swish.

At this moment, a crisp pop sounded and a small figure with a huge head appeared on the workbench.

"Huh?"

Cute little nightmare worms are back?

"Hiss-" (Eat, eat, eat)

PS: There are no ten thousand, no eight thousand, seven thousand words...... It's already today's limit, but not mine, continue tomorrow!
