After leaving the quarters, Wayne took Tina for a casual stroll, bought a few copies of the best-selling knights, and found a hotel in the store area to serve as a temporary residence on the island.

This is a hotel belonging to the Baskabiru family in the southern continent, surrounded by grass-green wall paint and various flowers and trees, this hotel has a kind of atmosphere close to nature, and it is very different from the other shops around.

At the doorway is a half-human-tall thousand leaf grass, with clear veins on the crystal leaves, and the faint flickering of light makes it look like a work of art carved from jade.

"Runic power?"

Wayne looked at the branches and leaves of the mille-leaf grass, it was indeed a plant with special rune circle powers.

The blades are rune patterns, and the connection between the main stem and the branch is the rune node, the core...... Well, it should be at the rhizome that the soil covers.

Sensing his gaze, the head of the inn, Elikang Bascabiru, smiled, "Wizard Wayne, you have a deep knowledge of runes, right?" ”

"Well, what effect does it have?"

With the introductory knowledge of runes that Wayne was about to master, it was not difficult to analyze the rune circle on this thousand leaf grass, but he needed an instrument to assist in observation and a certain amount of time.

"It's just for purifying the air, you know, there's a lot of pirates on the island, they're, huh...... Most people don't like bathing......"

Erican is an interesting aristocrat who is not very old, only five years older than Wayne, but he seems very mature.

However, the extraordinary nobles who can establish themselves in the pirate city-state of Alexei do need some ability.

Therefore, when Wayne and Tina passed by, he took the initiative to come over, hoping to provide them with accommodation, and at the same time prepared two gifts for them, saying that they were welcome to Alexei Island.

This made Wayne feel very interesting.

You know, when he and Tina were "shopping", what he heard and saw was the fear, suspicion, and ulterior motives of the pirates.

And those powerful transcendents from noble backgrounds are mostly scrutinized and dismissive of them, and ninety percent of the pirate groups sailing in the waters of Cordo can rob the "cowardly Purple Flower" family, which is nothing.

As for the Kast city-state event......

In the eyes of their aristocracy, it was nothing more than a farce, and even well-informed people knew the Ernst family's role in it—definitely more capable than a seemingly powerful aberration.

Some even believe that if it weren't for the appearance of Wayne, the elder Ernst would have become a "legendary" nobleman, and that he had acquired the city-state of Karst through the means that the nobles were good at.

Therefore, under such a cognition, the appearance of Erican is very eye-catching.

"Purify the air?"

Wayne looked at the thousand leaf grass with interest, although the effect of these two runes was not very powerful, but it was very practical.

If there had been a few similar plants in the original neighborhood of Laos, the environment would have improved a lot.

"Mr. Elican, don't know where to buy it?"

"Wizard Wayne, you, you're going to buy a thousand leaves?"

Elican was surprised, as he knew about wizards, a group of monsters chasing knowledge and power, rarely paying attention to the ability to purify the air, which didn't help them.

"Yes." Wayne nodded, "I'd like to buy more if I can." ”

In total, he had been away from the city-state of Caster for a month. According to Marko, the reconstruction should be completed in the near future.

So he wanted to buy some chiba grass and send it to Lacey, as a memorial to that part of the inquisitor's life, and to compensate those who had been hurt by that disaster.

"This ......" Erican hesitated and said, "Actually, the thousand leaf grass is very common in the Southern Continent, it is just the most common plant, if you need to purify the air and improve the environment, I can find others." ”

Very common?

Wayne raised his eyebrows, is it all over the Southern Continent?

It seems that the environment in the Southern Continent must be very good.

"Chiba is fine, I can buy more."

"Okay," Erican nodded, "how much do you want?" ”

"Enough to dot a city-state, well, a city-state that's half smaller than here."

"That's a lot, I'll contact the family."

"Thank you! Those thousand leaf grasses were sent directly to the city-state of Karst in the Shatlan Kingdom on the Eastern Continent, and the recipient was to find Minister Lacey Janice Montoya of the Secret Division. ”

Wayne glanced at Chihama, thinking about what the entire Caster city-state would look like in the future, dispelling the scene of disaster hidden in his heart.

"Understood."

Erikon suddenly thought to himself, it turned out to be for the city-state of Custer.

It seems that the rumors are not credible, but this aberrant wizard who was chased by the Church of Dawn for judgment is not as violent and evil as the newspapers say.

After settling Chiba and finding a place to stay, Wayne explained to Erican that he would not be disturbed, and he stayed in the room with Little White Fur.

After that, a person returns directly to the theater space through the golden key to deal with a few things, leaving Tina outside for the time being.

He wasn't worried.

With Xiao Baimao's current strength, plus Mr. Clown, there will be no danger and accidents.

"Coming back?"

Pavra, who was lying in front of the dining table bored, saw the sudden appearance of Wayne, her clear eyes couldn't help but look left and right, and after nothing happened, she muttered in disappointment: "Too ......"

The evil wizard obviously promised to come down before, why didn't he come down?

"What's excessive?"

Wayne guessed what she was thinking, and asked as he feigned doubt.

"You!?" Pavra tilted her head to ignore him.

Not only did they imprison me, but they also threatened me to be a maid...... Now I don't even want to buy a few books......

It's excessive!

Seeing her expression, Wayne chuckled a few times, took out a few brand-new books that smelled of ink from the space ring and put them on the dining table, "It's been ready for a long time." ”

"Books?"

Pavra's face was happy, she took the book and turned the page, noticed the current occasion, and hurriedly put it away again.

"Hmph, I will pray to the Great Dawn to reduce some of your sins."

Wayne: "...... I thank you. ”

And pray on my behalf to the Lord of Dawn to reduce his sins, for if He had known, he would have struck him off.

"No thanks."

With that, Pavra trotted to the rest area with the book, and did not forget to turn around and say, "Sava has gone to the promotion, and dinner is in the kitchen." ”

Seeing her in such a hurry, Wayne smiled dumbly.

I didn't expect this Church of the Dawn Church Candidate to have such a side, little bookworm?

But Sava made the cut?

Wayne glanced at the studio in the middle of the work area, it had been exactly twenty days since the last promotion, and the speed was not slow.

But...... It seems that the experimental progress of the mechanical undead project will also be accelerated.

With that in mind, Wayne returned to his studio and sat down at his workbench, thinking about his trip to the island.

The matter of subject research cannot be rushed, and it cannot be rushed.

But there is something even more important at the moment, and that is Alex Koulibaly!

In fact, when he left the city-state of Custer, he knew that Chief Alex would not give up Tina's calamity powers.

But he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to see him again so soon, let alone here, on Alexey Island.

This can only mean one thing -

"He's always looking at me!"

Wayne narrowed his eyes, being targeted by such an extraordinary person who could endure for nearly twenty years, and it was impossible for anyone not to pay attention to it.

And this time, Ales is not alone!

He could be sure that with the mental means of the former director of the secret investigation department, and the ability to make connections in the Karst incident, this time he chose to make a move on this Alexei Island, and Ales would definitely be fully prepared.

It's just that who will appear, Wayne is not sure.

The Sect of Desire, the Cult of the Abyss, the Eternal Life Society, the Glory Society, or something else?

He must find out all the possible people before Ales makes a move, and try to bring the Custer incident to a successful conclusion.

However, fortunately, in just half a day on the island this time, he unexpectedly gained something.

Not only did he figure out the whole story of the previous Kast city-state, but he also accepted a family member of the Desire Sect.

Dependents......

Wayne could clearly perceive Mitra's state at this time through the Origin Power, and could even hear some of her inner voices.

Wizard Wayne, that's bad.

Why didn't you see him so bad before?

I like it so much, though......

"Hiss......"

Wayne sensed her thoughts, and couldn't help but sigh twice, this person really deserves to be from the Desire Sect, and he is indeed different from people from other sects.

But in addition to these, being able to sign a master-servant contract with her is indeed a very big gain, and it is an unexpected joy.

With Mitra as his internal response, he can somewhat understand the situation on Ales's side.

As for the rest......

Then it's up to each person!

Thinking of this, Wayne took out a pen and paper and wrote the content of this time.

Although Ales personally cannot compare to the major events of the Twilight Sect, the threat to him is no less great.

Even he suspected that the forbidden item 0-38 True Clock, which could lock his location, belonged to Director Ales.

If so, then he has to deal with it in advance.

The threat of the real clock after it gets out of control is not like the Demon Clown's time - it will really be fatal!

"The Cult of Twilight, Ales, Church of the Dawn......"

After briefly writing down the things to do on Alexei Island, Wayne marked and wrote a list of materials, and then directly activated the black contact and contacted Teresa and them.

Placing a rune circle on a large island requires a lot of materials.

Thinking about it, only the Silvera family in the Northern Continent who has the ability to help him at the moment can help him.

Ghosts, mysteries?

He had other, more important arrangements for these two wizarding schools.

"Grown-a-smir."

It didn't take long for Teresa to appear on the unreal screen.

"How's the research report going?"

"Director, something happened."

Accidentally?

Wayne asked suspiciously, "What accident?" Did President Jossué not think that the report was of sufficient value? ”

"No, it's not." Teresa's smile bloomed, "It's Bolas's mentors, they feel that the subject of our institute is too valuable to be disclosed to the Shadow School!" ”

"Oh? Tell me more about it. ”

This was not what Wayne expected, and according to his speculation, the appearance of the mechanical undead would indeed have a certain impact, but it was much worse than the defects of the spell runes, and it should not be taken so seriously by the school.

"When I went to submit the report, Dean Josue was giving a lecture to the great wizards of the various research institutes, saying that they were not capable enough, and they were conducting research all day long but without results......"

"Those people still look down on our institute and don't believe in the value of our project, but I didn't expect Dean Josue to tell them after reading it that they are not qualified to view this report, hahaha......"

"You don't know, the directors of those institutes were all green at the time, especially the Scotty Wizard. Hmph, after this time, let's see if they dare to look down on us! ”

"And on the Ice Castle side, after the dean handed in the report, Mentor Boras urgently convened a legendary council to discuss whether to use this project report as a competition......

As Teresa finished the whole thing with her dancing hands, Wayne also understood the school's intentions.

Most of the legendary wizards of Wraith now recognize the value of the mechanical undead subject, and have negotiated the level of knowledge and the gold pounds needed to exchange it.

According to the rules of the school, for every research report on the topic of mechanical undead that is exchanged in the future, their research institute will receive 50,000 gold pounds.

However, 50,000 gold pounds seems like a lot, but after adding the condition of "only above the legend can be exchanged", even if all the ghost legends are counted, it is only a million gold pounds.

At most, the total proceeds will only cover the cost of the current research in gold pounds......

In contrast, the school's arrangement of the rune formation board card topic is even more exciting.

"You're saying that the school intends to make the study of rune formation boards a compulsory part of the knowledge of wizards? Ready to put my name in the Wizard's Codex? ”

Teresa nodded excitedly, "Yes, Director." Mentor Bhoras also said that as long as we can come up with the complete knowledge of the rune formation board, he will gather the other four wizarding schools and share this knowledge as a common knowledge to all schools. ”

Hearing this, Wayne frowned.

The rune formation board card and the mechanical heart rune device are matched, and only the mechanical undead of the ghost can be used by the mechanical school, and the knowledge system of the other schools is not a strong match......

"Teresa, did the Legend of Boras say anything about the intention of this arrangement?"

"Not really."

Teresa looked at Wayne with a calm face, and wondered a little in her heart, why didn't the director look very happy?

"Do you have any questions? I can go to the tutor and ask. ”

"Hmm...... Not at the moment. ”

Wayne shook his head, he couldn't think of the usefulness of the board card in the wizarding systems of the Spirit, Blood and Shadow Schools, it didn't mean that the Legend of Boras and those wizarding schools couldn't think of it.

Moreover, the school arranged it in this way, which would have benefited him even more.

In addition to the gains from exchanging knowledge, his name appears on the wizard's codex, which is of great value.

It wasn't worth a gold pound, but it was something that couldn't be measured - it would elevate his status in the wizarding world to a level that no one else could have imagined.

Just like the legendary wizard Garman McAleese of the Blood Spirits, he could also try advertising in the Wizard's Codex.

Well, forget it...... Low-key and low-key.

"Since the school doesn't need us to come forward to participate in the Shadow School's competition, let's follow the plan mentioned before, and after you have rested, you will start preparing for the next step of the research."

"Okay, Director, I'll explain it to them."

"Don't worry," Wayne waved his hand to stop the rich witch's movements, took out the parchment he had just written, and said, "I'll send you a list of materials later, you collect it as soon as possible and send it to me, I'll be useful." ”

"Materials? Is it related to the issue? Teresa asked.

Previously, she had issued procurement requirements through family channels according to the arrangement of the institute...... Could it be that because of the arrangement of the school, the elder felt that the materials were not enough?

Neither is it right......

"No, it's what I need to set up a rune circle on my side."

"No problem, please leave it to me."

Wayne nodded, "Thank you." ”

"Lord, I should thank you for letting me join the institute......

It is really reassuring to have such a rich woman with a mine at home in the research institute.

After a while, after the call with Teresa ended, Wayne passed the bill of materials through the blue and white box.

"I almost forgot."

Looking at the glittering box with rune lines, Wayne suddenly remembered that he hadn't sent the [Burst Sniper Rifle] he had made for Blackjack and Menor.

Menor, for his part, is not in a hurry for now, and will give it to him the next time I see him.

Thinking like this, he took out the teleportation device that Blackjack had provided before leaving, and asked the driver to summon the mechanical door to take out the [Burst Sniper Rifle] and put the bullets inside, and saw the crude mechanical teleporter rumble.

Wayne pursed his lips, compared to the intelligence officer equipment provided by the Spirits, the pirates on the Black Pearl were much more rudimentary.

"I don't know where Marco and they are now......"

You should be almost near Awad Island, right?

I remember the last time we parted, Blackjack said to get there as soon as possible.

……

……

The terror of the Kordo Sea lies in its fickleness, one second it is still a beautiful wind and the waves are gentle, and the next second it may be a doomsday scene with clouds, strong winds and raging waves.

Plus the deep-sea behemoths that appear from time to time, as well as hordes of deep-sea aberrants...... Let all ships sailing on the sea always be vigilant and in awe of this sea.

Rumble!

Thundered!

Nearly 10,000 kilometers from Awad Island, a huge cloud slowly moved northward, and the lightning and thunder in the sky, the huge waves visible to the naked eye, and the roar from there made all the ships that saw it run around one after another.

"Left full rudder, get away from that damn storm!"

"What about the boatswain? Take someone to throw away all the unimportant things on the ship, and grab it again when the money is gone! ”

“……”

The scattered pirate ships and the merchant ships of the nobles urgently chose to detour as soon as they sensed the storm.

In their experience, such a storm would require at least a five-masted galleon to remain basically stable, and the hull length of an ordinary three-masted galleon is no more than fifty meters, which is not as high as a wave.

"Look, there's a ship going in there!"

"Who is so brave?"

"Is it the Whitekee?!"

"Blackjack, is that bastard back?"

"Is he still so brave that he chose to cross over and rush to Awad Island in such a hurry?"

"Quick, quick, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and detour Lao Tzu!"

"Activate the circle, speed up, speed up—"

In a corner of the stormy sea, dozens of ships that had just turned around confirmed the identity of the five-masted galleon through the lookout, and they couldn't help but sweat for him.

The five-masted schooner was guaranteed not to capsize in that storm, but there were not only the waves, but also the terrifying mutants that were engulfed, and even the appearance of a deep-sea monster was not out of the question......

At this time, the White Krage.

Blackjack and Euan stood on the bow of the ship, their hair tossing in the furious wind, but both of them looked at the stormy sea ahead with serious expressions.

"Let me see who those bastards are!"

"Don't be careless, have you forgotten what Menor said earlier? The strength of those gravediggers is not simple, and there are still people from the Aranika, so it is better to be careful. ”

"I'm afraid of them?" Blackjack snorted, "It's better that Suyad bastard is here too, and let Lao Tzu teach him a good lesson for the captain." ”

"You?"

Euan glanced at him, and didn't say any more, but his tone was already clearly tinged with disbelief.

"The last time he fought with the boss, I happened to be out, otherwise I would definitely leave him behind, where would he be threatened like now?"

Blackjack was quite unconvinced and said: "If it wasn't for that bastard's luck to get that 'Homecoming', Lao Tzu would have killed him in the waters of Cordo a few years ago." ”

"Don't be angry!"

Youan shook his head and admonished: "In the past, Su Yad's strength was not weak, after getting that taboo, there were sea taboos and some other special area gains, it is not surprising that he can have today." ”

"Jack, sometimes luck is part of strength!"

In the past, when he was still at sea, he didn't believe in such ethereal things as luck and fate, but since Carly received the Dawn Grace, he experienced the strangeness of the power of authority, and suddenly felt that this should be the so-called fate.

Fate led him to meet the woman, fate left the pirate ship for the city-state of Karst, and fate gave Carly the power to become a saint......

In the dark, it was as if there was an invisible hand enveloping him, making a legend like him feel the pressure and threat......

"I know, but it's still upset......"

Blackjack muttered a few words, looked at the edge of the storm that was getting closer, and asked, "Didn't that bastard Menore say he was coming?" It's been so long, why hasn't he arrived yet? ”

"He? His words are credible, and he should already be on his way. Euan thought for a moment and proposed, "Why don't we turn the bow of the ship and wait for him?" You know, with him here, we're a little bit bigger. ”

"Forget it," Blackjack didn't think about it, and refused, "Lotilia's side urges every day, plus the matter on your side, the time to detour and wait for delays...... Not cost-effective. ”

Youan nodded silently and did not persuade again.

At this moment, Waleed ran out of the cabin.

"Boss, all the magic circles have been opened, and the [Breaking Waves] at the bottom of the ship have also been arranged, and they can be activated at any time."

"And the sniper rifle that Kid Wayne promised us has just been teleported, how to arrange it?"

"Burst sniper rifles?" Blackjack raised an eyebrow.

"It's the horrible stuff."

"Then what are you waiting for, you quickly let Marko take his team over to get new equipment, after such a long time, it's time for that kid's spear team to move."

"Yes!"

PS: Sorry, the update is much late today.
