Wayne didn't know what was happening inside the Ice Castle Research Center.

Once he had decided on his next steps, he stayed at the Black Pearl garrison in the city-state of Alexey.

A walk around the castle, to be exact.

"Lord Honatan!"

"Boss."

"Good afternoon, sir."

Along the way, Wayne gained a general understanding of the entire station.

From the title, it can be seen that the people who call him "boss" and "captain" are basically the crew members brought by Honatan from the Black Pearl.

And those who called him "Lord" were either the direct crew members of "One-Eyed" and "Pretty Hands", or they were recruited after coming to Alexei Island.

With this in mind, Wayne enlisted those of Honatan's former men, a few pirates who were quite pleasing to the eye.

"Boss, do you have something to order?"

A thin middle-aged man in a pirate jacket with two muskets hanging from his waist.

The two pirates next to him were dressed similarly.

Judging by the gems set in the hilt of the gun, it can be seen that they are rich in hand.

"Sort of," Wayne sat at his desk, pretending to mutter, "What do you think about last night's events?" ”

Now the people he knows well, that is, Ronan, are still outside the city-state, and at present, they can only find some reliable people through the identity of "killers".

Later, whether it is modifying the original city-state magic circle or secretly arranging a new set of rune magic circles, people need to do it.

After all, he still needs to play the role of Honatan with all his heart......

Hearing his question, several pirates looked at each other.

"Boss, when 'One-Eye' died, we were all on the scene, I think it's better not to provoke that one."

"yes, Boss, we just heard that even Lord Blackjack didn't say anything. And Captain Adolad, who has been ...... with us before"

"That's right!"

Wayne nodded noncommittally, activated the deception talent, and continued: "I didn't think about avenging 'One-Eye', but just now 'Beautiful Hand' said that we want to cooperate with Wizard Wayne. ”

"Someone has to do things, so I'm going to let a few of you replace me, cooperate with the 'beautiful hands', and do this together."

The pirates were stunned: "Boss, are you asking us to take the initiative to find the 'Wizard of Aberration'?" ”

"It's only temporary."

"But there's a little bit ......"

Wayne's spiritual power spreads, "You're doing it in secret, and you're only in contact with the second mate on that wizard's ship. ”

"Ronan?"

"It's him," Wayne nodded, not forgetting to remind, "Remember, this matter can't be revealed to anyone, understand?" ”

"Boss, don't worry."

"Never tell anyone!"

“……”

Fraud Success!

Reaching the entry-level deception talent, when used, Wayne can perceive the target's state reaction.

Compared to before, it is necessary to rely on their behavior to judge.

Now he could sense that the special power that had spilled out of it was entwining around the origins of several pirates.

Vaguely, Wayne even felt that even if these people were allowed to commit suicide, it would be a matter of tongue at most.

"For the rest of the time, you will temporarily obey Second Officer Ronan. When that's done, I'll talk to Flanda about rewarding you. ”

"Understood."

Several pirates looked delighted and turned to leave the office.

As the heavy wooden door closed, Wayne thought for a few seconds before setting up a new illusion of deception.

Then let the red ghost cast the Shadow Walk spell and enter the realm of death.

Through that unique perspective, he looked out at the entire island of Alexei, looking for Ronan's figure.

"I can't wait......"

He looked at Ronan's position, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

It was a tavern of gold outside the city-state.

Not only that, but at this time Ronan also found two girls and danced some seductive dances in front of him.

That proud figure, and an extremely ambiguous atmosphere......

I don't know how Triangle Eye resisted the temptation and only drank on the side.

Wayne stepped out, already resembling the Leonard's boatswain Herwin, and swaggered into the Golden Tavern.

"Welcome, your ......"

"Find someone!"

Wayne stopped the girls who had come up, and his spiritual perception guided him to Ronan's room.

When, when......

"Who? Who is disturbing Uncle Ben's good things at this time? ”

"Second mate, it's me."

"Hervin?"

Ronan opened the door and looked at the figure at the door, "Why are you here?" It's not in the tavern next door......"

As he spoke, an ambiguous smile appeared on his face: "Or is it that the girl there is not moist enough, and you come here to ...... me."

"It's the captain's order!"

Wayne glared at him, and when he entered the door, he waved his hand to let the two cool girls go out first.

"Captain Wayne?"

After the people left, Ronan closed the door and asked suspiciously, "I just met the captain in the morning, and he didn't tell me that there was a new arrangement." ”

He looked at Helwin's face, and a hint of amusement flashed in his triangular eyes.

This little guy can't have discovered the disguise of this legend, right?

Can't you......

"I don't know,"

Wayne pretended to be innocent and shook his head: "The boss just said, let me tell you, there will be people from the Black Pearl to find you next." ”

"What you need to do......"

Speaking of which, Wayne also turned on the talent for fraud!

The spiritual power spread silently, enveloping Ronan in front of him.

"It's to take them to complete the arrangement of a rune circle on the island."

"Rune Circle?"

A strange feeling rose in Ronan's heart.

It seems that the person in front of him is the person he is closest and most familiar with, and there is an inexplicable voice in his heart.

Listen to him and be obedient......

Salvatore Samuel Cabo, the legendary wizard who pretended to be Ronan, was in his heart.

Is this source erosion?

He silently set up defenses on top of the source, and that strange feeling really made him a little concerned.

"I don't know how to set up a magic circle, what do I need to do?"

It worked, and it failed.

The paradoxical feeling of perceiving the feedback given by the talent of fraud also made Wayne's heart skip a beat.

He had used Ronan's deception ability before, but at that time, he had just awakened his deception talent and was not skilled enough.

And now that the talent for fraud that has reached the entry level is still failing......

Wayne looked at Ronan in front of him carefully, and muttered, "The captain is ready, and it should be handed over to you later." ”

"That's good......"

Salvatore was still looking for traces of that strange feeling in the Origin Core World, but after rummaging through, he still found nothing.

The little guy still has such a means?

He looked at Wayne, who had conjured into Helwin in front of him.

What kind of ability is that, and how can it be so weird?

The urge to study him carefully after dismantling him swelled up in my heart again......

No, if you don't figure it out, this legend won't be able to sleep!

[You are under the probe of Salvatore Samuel Cabo. Comment: Needless to say, right? Reward: +500 survival points. 】

Salvatore Samuel Capo!?

As soon as Wayne wanted to turn away, he saw the words like this appear on the panel in his mind.

The deep color and the reward of up to 500 survival points all show the strength of the person in front of you!

And this is already the third time he has seen the name.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that such a legendary-level transcendent would be hidden by his side......

What exactly does he want to do? What is the purpose?

Aren't they the ones from Ales......

Salvatore noticed his expression and sighed in his heart, knowing that his identity might have been revealed.

I simply didn't pretend.

He sat down on a chair next to him and pouted, "Wizard Wayne, your abilities are really weird. ”

"You...... Who the hell are you? ”

Wayne stepped back, looking wary, ready to flee at any moment.

But at such a distance, he was not too sure that he would be able to escape from a legend.

"Me?"

I saw that the mechanical body on Ronan's body naturally fell off and smashed on the precious velvet carpet.

Then his body twisted and changed, and in an instant he became a different person—a black dress, thin and straight, with a ruby necklace around his neck.

The long hair was gray and scattered, and a slightly pale face had a little trace of time.

The eyebrows and eyes are bright, the bridge of the nose is high, and the lips are slightly thick and angular......

What surprised Wayne the most was the center of his eyebrows, which was actually a black fire symbol composed of complex patterns!

"Legendary wizards of the school!?"

"Of course," the wizard in the gown looked at him with a smirk, "as you can see. ”

Ghost......

Wayne's heart was relieved, fortunately he was not a legend of other schools.

At least that way, you can communicate......

Thinking of this, he also took the initiative to dismantle the illusion, and respectfully performed a wizarding salute and asked, "Wharne Loft of the Ghost School, I don't know if you are ......"

"Salvatore Samuel Capo, or you can call me the legendary wizard of Saray!"

"Saray Legend, I'm sorry," Wayne said, standing aside, "offended you before. ”

Salvatore looked him up and down and chuckled, "It's not an offense, after all, I didn't tell you in advance, I just appeared by your side, I hope you don't mind." ”

"Of course not."

It's not weird!

Wayne pouted secretly, and the legendary wizard suddenly appeared, directly disrupting what he had done in the gladiatorial arena before.

If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that Flanda and Honatan would have died last night along with Adolad.

Although the current situation is the same, but in that case, he can directly control the entire Alexei Island with the Black Pearl.

Well, that doesn't seem to be the case......

"Your crew, I've put him somewhere else, and I'll give it back to you when this time is over."

"Uh, huh? What happened this time? ”

"I forgot to tell you," Salvatore straightened out his dress and said, "According to the mission letter issued by the school, this time I am specifically responsible for protecting you." ”

"School? Protect me? ”

Wayne was stunned, he had just mentioned this matter to Deputy Boras today......

So, before that, the school had already arranged for the legend of Salvatore to come to Alexei Island?

"I don't know who you received the task from?"

"Didn't Boras tell you?" Salvatore raised an eyebrow.

"Nope." Wayne shook his head.

"That's his problem, anyway, according to the mission, I'm already here."

“……”

Salvatore's words are somewhat unreasonable.

But Wayne knew that with his legendary strength, he should also ......

"What? Aren't you going to talk about the troubles you're having? ”

"I," Wayne hesitated and asked, "I'm sorry, Salvatore Legends, it's not that I don't believe you, please come up with a specific mission letter, or find a way I can confirm......"

"Understood."

Salvatore raised his hand, and the black trophy liaison appeared on the table next to him, pressed the start button and said:

"Annette, please get in touch with me, Boras."

"Please name the build number!"

"Boras, Boras......"

"Please name the build number ......"

Salvatore looked at Wayne helplessly and asked, "Do you know Boras's internal number?" ”

"Build Number: 112." Wayne was silent for a few seconds before replying.

He suddenly felt that the legend was ...... There is personality.

Don't you even know the internal number of the school vice-chair?

Or is it also testing him?

"Confirmed successfully, I have helped you to submit your request to Boras M. Wizard G. McClure, passing the connection channel request ......"

"This Annette is really, so boring."

"Annette?"

Wayne looked at the gray mist peeking out above the liaison in surprise.

Annette?

This is the Ghost Wizard in charge of the internal liaison?

"A resentful spirit, old-fashioned, if you're in the school, you'll be able to meet her."

"Oh."

It didn't take long for the gray fog to form an illusory screen.

"I was about to contact you, Salvatore, my side...... You? ”

As soon as Boras spoke, he saw Wayne on the illusory screen standing aside, and his heart fluttered.

Then he changed his words: "Wizard Wayne, it just so happens that you are also here." ”

"Good afternoon, Deputy Boras." Wayne saluted.

"Believe it now, right?"

Salvatore looked at him with a smile, then turned his head to look at the Gray Mist screen without waiting for him to reply.

"Boras, the task you arranged, I am performing. If nothing else, I'll talk about it next time. ”

Wayne nodded, and of course he was more relieved to have Deputy Boras testify.

Before, he was still thinking about finding two legendary wizards to come over, but now that he has one by his side, he also has some security and confidence.

"Yes!"

On the illusory screen, Boras hurriedly spoke, "Your good big brother is back. ”

He didn't care that Wayne was not there, and told the story.

"My big brother?"

Salvatore frowned, looked at Boras and said displeasedly: "Didn't you say that he would be away for a long time?" ”

"Well, there was an accident in the middle."

Boras's tone was slightly embarrassed, thinking of Anepu who had been taken away before, and Armitage, who was almost killed, the skeletal face was also a little gloomy.

"Anyway, he'll be coming to you later, so be careful when you see him."

"Huh? And the bastard is still out? ”

"If nothing else, it should appear in front of you in two to three days."

Salvatore rubbed his eyebrows, looking distressed, "I know Boras, thank you for remembering to inform me in advance." ”

"Goodbye!"

Boras nodded at Wayne and disconnected.

"Bastard Boras, you lied to me!"

When the gray fog cleared, Salvatore was still chattering unpleasantly.

"I was told that bastard wouldn't be back anytime soon, so I ran ......"

Bastard?

Wayne was puzzled, but didn't ask.

What he was even more curious about now was what kind of purpose this person had come to Alexei Island.

If you talk about protection, it can be explained.

But that's definitely not the main reason......

Is it because of a defect in the spell rune, or is it a mechanical undead, or is it a spell he used before?

It's all possible!

Salvatore's tone was unhurried, but his tone gave the impression of complaint.

From start to finish, Bolas lost a total of ten minutes.

And it's when the other party isn't in front of you.

Wayne was very skeptical that if the skeleton deputy was on Alexei Island at this time, the two would not have a fight.

"Ahem,"

It wasn't until he said a few more words that Salvatore looked at Wayne: "I was a little angry just now, in fact, I don't usually do that. ”

"Especially when I was doing experiments, I was almost always productive, focused, and smart!"

"Hehe......" Wayne nodded with a dry smile.

"I remember you were doing research before?"

"Yes, Salvatore Legend. However, the project has now completed its phase results, and the next stage needs to wait. ”

"A mechanical undead?"

"Yes......"

"Good subject direction, yesterday there were a few legendary wizards who asked me about your situation, and said that the mechanical undead project you are responsible for will change the status quo of the entire ghost undead system, well......"

Salvatore's expression was restrained, and he asked very seriously: "Actually, I want to say, are you interested in changing the research institute?" ”

"Huh?"

Wayne looked at him in surprise.

How did he jump straight from a topic to here?

Obviously, at the beginning, he was still very anxious about his affairs on Alexei Island, and then there was Boras, and now he is asking about the subject......

Wayne was now a little suspicious that the other party's real purpose was the research report he had submitted to the school.

"I'm sorry, Salvatore Legend, let's talk about this island first, what do you say?"

"Oh yes, that's right," Salvatore patted his head and smiled, "I'm used to it, I've been in the lab before, and I'm still ......"

"Tell me what you're going to do here?"

Wayne finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the topic pulled back.

The topic of the mechanical undead had not yet been further developed, and the next phase of preparations had not yet been completed, and he did not want to talk to a legend about the details now.

"That's right, maybe you know that I was an intelligence officer in the city-state of Custer, and I ...... at the time"

Immediately afterward, Wayne told the story of the matter.

Aside from the feud between the city-state of Caster and Ales, and the killing of the clergy that caused the Church of Dawn to pursue them.

He stressed that Ales had everything set up on the island and was ready to deal with him.

“…… So, you're saying that the arrogant man who tried to steal the source of the calamity wants to deal with you here? ”

Stealing the source of calamity?

Filch......

Shouldn't it be forcible seizure?

"You understood it right."

Salvatore touched his chin, "I thought it was related to the Cult of Dusk, maybe I could see the legendary 'Lord of Truth and Killing'......"

Uh, the Twilight Sect?

Wayne shook his head, "I'm afraid that will take a while, as far as I know, they are still collecting 'Gamendia's Dreams' at sea." ”

"It's a pity...... I don't know if I can stay here that long......"

Salvatore pondered for a moment and said, "But Ales Koulibaly sounds like a very interesting person, too. ”

"Are you sure you want me to deal with them?"

"Or, you can set up a rune circle for me."

Wayne thought for a while and said, "Among them, none of them should be legends, I should be ......."

At this point, he paused.

There was a legend watching the battle, and it seemed a little inappropriate.

Those spells that fused with the Death's Origin Runes...... He wasn't sure if a Legend could observe the anomalies of those spells.

"Should? It seems that the little guy's strength is good, and he has not yet been promoted to the Great Wizard to deal with the transcendent at the level of the Hand of the Kingdom. ”

Salvatore chuckled, he knew Wayne had secrets, but every wizard who grew up was a secret in his own right.

Especially in a world like this, which is full of epoch relics and ancient ruins.

Even in the history of the School of Spirits, there have been wizards who have obtained a god's treasury and managed to advance to the legend in just two years.

"Hehe......" Wayne didn't say anything.

How wrong it is......

He now felt more and more that his previous decision had been the right one.

If he really wants to leave the city-state of Karst and return to the Northern Continent, I'm afraid he will be cleaned up by the wizards of the school by now.

"In addition to Ales, I remember that the Lady of Judgment of the Church of Dawn is also chasing you, right?"

"Yes, Salvatore Legend, it should be just a few days." Wayne smiled wryly, "This is one of the reasons why I sought support from the school. ”

"I've heard that the Judgment Saintess Celestia Edas is extraordinary, and I'm not sure ......"

"Extraordinary?" Salvatore shook his head and sighed, "She's not a priesthood that can be summed up so simply. ”

"Oh?"

"That person's strength should be extremely close to that of a demigod by now...... Well, it's the level above the legend. ”

Demigod ......

Wayne was shocked, he had already overestimated the Judgment Saintess before, but he didn't expect to underestimate it.

Fortunately, Salvatore is legendary, otherwise he will really drag on until the other party arrives according to the previous plan, and I am afraid that he will have to shed his skin if he does not die.

"Don't mention her, I'm really going to bump into her, it's a big deal I'll run away with you...... Well, get out of the island. ”

Salvatore blinked, you shouldn't have heard, right?

Wayne: "......"

This legendary wizard is really straightforward.

"I'm mainly trying to get rid of Ales this time."

"Yes, I agreed!"

"You ......"

"I'm referring to completing the arrangement of the rune circle for you, as well as making a move when necessary, as for the rest of the ......"

Salvatore looked at Wayne with a smile and said, "I believe you have the strength to deal with it, don't you?" ”

"I see."
