"Whew-"

The melodious sound of trumpets resounded over the northern port of Alexei Island.

The huge steam engine ship with a dark blue body occupies three large positions, the steel hull shimmers with a metallic sheen, and the huge barrel of the steam cannon sticking out of the side window makes it difficult not to notice.

The three-masted sailing ship next to it looks like a child and an adult.

At this time, on the bridge that stretched from the deck to the port, a group of storm knights in blue armor walked down in unison under the leadership of the head of the knights.

Mitra stood in the harbor on behalf of Alexei Island, and beside her was the Dawn Church and her valiant knights, and said with a smile on her face:

"Welcome to Storm Church 'Freedom' Saint Eve Hendrix, also ......"

A knight who was not very tall added, "Alexy Harris, the head of the 'Freedom' Knights of the Storm Church! ”

Mitra smiled at him, "Welcome to Regiment Leader Alexy Harris, too. ”

As she spoke, her gaze rose to look at the boat, where a woman with a voluptuous figure was slowly descending.

Her appearance is not feminine, her face is neutral, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, bright black pupils, a straight nose, plump and large lips, and a handsome beauty.

She was wearing a short blue skirt with a low collar to reveal two touches of pink, and a robe of the same color on the outside, coupled with the golden trident she was holding in her hand, which made her whole person shine brightly.

Eve walked to the front of the group, her eyes fell on Mitra, who was in charge, and she smiled: "'Pretty hand' Lady Franda Carneiro? ”

"Yes, Holy Eve."

"This," Eve nodded, and looked next to her again, the smile on her lips even thicker, "It's Sister Sizzy Sepulda, the 'heroic' saint of the Church of the Dawn, right?" ”

"Welcome." Xizi spit out two words in a cold tone.

Mitra looked at the two holy maidens with interest, and then bowed and said, "Presumably the Holy Maiden Eve is a little tired after sailing for so long, so I will lead you to rest in the city-state first." ”

"Thank you, Lady Flanda."

Eve didn't refuse, smiled at Xizi again, and followed the team all the way to the city-state wall.

"You're welcome......"

However, most of the members of the Freedom Knights of the Church of the Storm remained above the harbor, with only the Knights' Leader, Alexis Harris, following closely behind Eve.

On the dawn side, Hitz and the head of the Valiant Knights, Roniław Kurban, also followed the party all the way to the castle in the center of the city-state.

When the crowd dispersed, the entire Alexei Island knew the news that a saint of the Church of the Storm had landed on the island, and they were surprised and wanted to figure out the purpose of their visit.

"Well, the Holy Maiden and the Knights of the Church of Dawn haven't left yet, and another Holy Maiden and the Knights of the Church of the Storm have arrived."

"Old Kells, do you know what they're here for?"

"How do I know? I'm just an old pirate, not an archbishop of the Church of the Storm. But if you think about it, it may have something to do with the 'Calamity Wizard'. ”

"Nonsense, apart from the wizards of the Wraith School, how can anyone else deserve such fanfare from the Storm Church?"

"I don't know what the impact will be on us."

"Whatever, Lao Tzu has just obtained the right to use a shop, and the more people who come and go, the better, so that there will be a big deal......"

At most, the pirates sighed, but the nobles of the continents were more touched by the Orthodox Church.

The Dawn Church in the Eastern Continent shines with divine light, and the canonization of each kingdom and the promotion of nobles must be present by the Dawn Bishop, two-thirds of the taxes of the major city-states must go into the church inventory, and the remaining part must be handed over to the kingdom by seventy percent.

Not to mention other aspects related to people's livelihood, economy, and military, there is almost no place where the Dawn Church is not involved.

The Church of the Storm is relatively better, but in the coastal city-states, they have more control, and most of the coastal city-states on the four continents have Storm Cultists, especially at sea.

As for the Red Moon and the Earth Church, there is not much difference......

"Hey, I really don't know what's wrong with the world. The Alanika and the Black Pearl went to war, the wizards of the Wraith ran to sea, and Dawn and Storm came, but what about the future? Who else? ”

……

Without mentioning the reaction of the rest of Alexei Island, Mitra took the Storm Church and his party to the castle parlor and sat down, and said with a smile:

"Holy Lady Eve, I don't know the purpose of your visit to Alexei Island?"

"On Lady Morion's orders, come and meet the Calamity." Eve didn't beat around the bush and said directly.

"You want to see Wizard Wayne?"

"Yes, I don't know if it's convenient?"

Mitra raised an eyebrow and said, "That's just sorry, Wizard Wayne is not on the island at the moment, and I don't know when he will return." ”

"Out?" Eve was stunned for a moment, looked at the heroic saintess intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "That's okay, Lady Morion has asked me to see the 'Calamity Wizard', I can wait here." ”

"Wait?" Mitra looked at her suspiciously and asked, "I would like to ask, what do you want to do when you see Wizard Wayne?" ”

"Well," Eve hesitated, "and it's okay to tell you, Lady Morion wants me to be on this island like Sister Xizi, and it would be better if I could build a Storm Church." ”

"Missionary?!"

"Huh?"

As soon as these words came out, even the expressionless Xizi raised her eyes to look at her, "Are your Storm Church planning to preach in the sea?" ”

"Sister Xizi, the storm originated in the Sea of Cordor, is there anything wrong with preaching here?"

"Hehe, this is the sea!"

"So, what's the problem?"

"You ......"

"Stop!"

Mitra didn't care about watching the play, and hurriedly interrupted the two of them and said, "Don't worry about Captain Xizi, what Eve Holy Maiden said will wait for Wizard Wayne's decision." ”

"Humph!" Xizi glanced at the Saint of Liberty and turned her head away.

Eve said with a smile: "This is natural, the entire island is up to the 'Calamity Wizard', and it is of course up to him to decide whether or not to build the Storm Church." ”

"But Lady Flanda, after I met the Calamity Wizard, I'm going to trouble you to take care of it in the future."

"Forehead ......"

Mithra's master hasn't agreed yet, and she's already decided to stay on the island?

"You're welcome, it doesn't matter how long you want to stay on the island, as long as Wizard Wayne agrees. As for the rest, I can only ask you not to say anything more......"

"Okay, then I wonder if you can arrange a place for us to rest first? It would be nice to be closer to the Calamity. ”

“…… Please follow me. ”

Seeing that Mitra couldn't ask anything else, she had to arrange for Eve and the others to stay first, and wait for the rest to wait for the master to return......

This time, Xizi didn't follow and left the castle with the valiant knights.

"Your Majesty, the Storm Church's purpose for coming here seems strange?" Ronisław asked, confused.

"It's not surprising," Xizi said coldly as she walked out of the city-state, "I should have the same idea as those old guys in the Sanctuary, and want to get closer to the Ghost School." ”

Roniław asked in confusion, "Ghosts?" Although His Excellency Wakraf is very strong, we are not weak at dawn. ”

"And the Sanctuary is here because of that, the Church of the Storm...... I don't understand......"

"That's suspicious!"

Xizi glanced back at the castle in the distance, thought for a few seconds, and continued to walk outside.

"When I go back, contact the Sanctuary immediately, I want to know all the information about the Storm Church recently."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

……

Eastern Continent, Kingdom of Shatlán, City-State of Caster.

Beyond the high eastern wall is a dirt road, and a few bare hills not far away.

There are a few small villages at the foot of the hill, and the houses are mostly made of stones, and the walls are painted a deep black, with the occasional hint of crimson visible as if the blood had dried up.

In the center of each village is a slightly taller church, with a triangular wooden spire above the stone wall, and a wall lamp hanging from the lattice above the eaves – the only thing that shines at night.

Most of the people living in the village looked numb.

Their skin was very white, the kind that did not see the sun all day long, and the skin was covered with angular bones, and they looked extremely thin.

It is not difficult to see the embarrassment of their lives.

Wayne observed for a moment, "I see." ”

The reason why he observed the villages outside the city-state was because when he first came to this world, he was curious about what the world outside the walls was like.

However, after seeing those villages, he also understood why the slums of the city-state of Custer were so harsh, and there were still people.

The reason is simple, the world outside the city-state is more difficult.

The living conditions are difficult, there are few people, and it is difficult to survive......

As for why he appeared here, it was because on the way back from the Secret Tower, he stopped a few times, not only to record the "Eye of Space" mark, but also to learn more about the situation on the mainland.

And it wasn't until he entered the border of the Châtland Kingdom that he took the initiative to separate from Wakraf and others, wanting to go to the city-state of Castel to have a look.

Vaclave, Salvatore, and Chief Verosa will return to the Spirits and Blood Spirits first, and when they have arranged their own affairs, they will gather in the Kordo Sea. By that time, the wizards of the Occult School should be ready.

Along the way, according to Wayne's observations, this time the three major wizarding schools gathered in the Kordo Sea, not only for the Twilight Sect, but also for a deeper purpose.

But no matter whether he asked directly or indirectly, Wakalough and the others did not say it explicitly, only told him to improve his strength as soon as possible.

This made him puzzled at the same time, but also secretly felt some pressure.

- I always felt that there was some kind of change in the world, which made several school leaders nervous.

Without much thought, Wayne dodged away and appeared outside the walls of the city-state of Custer, following the line and waiting to enter the city-state.

There weren't many people here, most of them were travelers' dressed extraordinary, and only a few were poorly dressed.

"3pence."

After hearing the cost, Wayne took out a 1 shilling coin and placed it in the guard's hand, and went straight into the city-state.

It's not that he's very generous, it's that since he went to sea, his spatial ring has mostly gold pounds and shillings, and it's hard to find 1pence.

"Thank you for your generosity."

The city-state guard looked at his back, a smile on his face, and said in his heart that he would have another drink in the evening.

Ignoring the happiness of the guards behind him, Wayne entered the city-state, and the first thing that caught his eye was the Krems Cathedral in the central area.

I saw that the damaged part of the church had long been repaired, but instead of the Church of Dawn flag, it was replaced by the blue flag of the Church of Storm.

[You are scanned by Nadia Friedman's psychic perception.] Evaluation: Slag. Reward: +1 Survival Point. 】

【……】

[You are locked by Marlan Caro's killing intent. Evaluation: A polluter about to undergo distortion, scum. Reward: +1 Survival Point. 】

Noticing the prompt information on the panel, the corners of Wayne's mouth grinned, it was really a familiar taste.

I remember that when he was still in this city-state, he often encountered such prompts.

Unexpectedly, after so long, the city-state has changed its consuls, changed its members of the church and the noble council, and there is still no shortage of polluters and transcendents who are "curious" about their surroundings.

Wayne didn't care about any of this, and walked along the Idrisus neighborhood to the east of the city-state, into Golden Street, to the house that belonged to the Ghost School's intelligence officers.

"It's still the same here?"

Along the way, from those brand-new buildings and pavement, it was not difficult for him to see the changes in the city-state of Caster, and he thought that there would be changes at 44 Golden Street, but he didn't expect it......

Wayne glanced at it a few times, then looked at the house next to it that still had the door number of Morris's Clinic, and his mental perception covered the observation, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

"On October 10, 1578 in the new calendar, there was not much going on in the city-state of Custer. The Secret Investigation Division has resolved three cases of aberrations, the Church of the Storm has issued a new fatwa abolishing gas fees for residents below the middle class, and the Council of Nobles and Parliament are still not dealing with it. ”

"Look" at a young ghost intelligence officer, neatly handwriting the information into the blue and white box, and at the end of the day with a holy prayer on his face, "Give more information, I can't afford to eat black bread" or something like that......

Wayne couldn't help but laugh, and the intelligence officer in front of him reminded him of what he was like back then.

But soon he couldn't laugh anymore—

"Dangchang."

As the intelligence officer opened the blue and white box, a golden coin appeared in his perception.

"Woohoo! Thank you for your generosity, 1 gold pound, you can have a good meal tonight! ”

Lie X?!

Even with Wayne's current state of mind, when he saw that gold pound, he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

Just a little bit of very ordinary information, and gave this intelligence officer 1 gold pound?

"What the hell?!"

Wayne thought that the kid was true when he said he couldn't afford to eat black bread, but after a glance, he found that there were not only dried fish pieces but also beef and milk hanging in the attic bedroom......

What about brown bread?

"It's not fair!"

Click.

Wayne gritted his teeth, although he knew that he had been cheated by the Kingdom Liaison Officer before, the income of 1 gold pound a day still made him very unhappy.

Originally, he also thought that the wizards who were also from the Ghost School were both serving as intelligence officers in the city-state of Custer, and that he would give his successor some benefits.

Right now?

Wayne didn't have a spell to raze this place to the ground, which was already the greatest gift to the intelligence officer!

However, in the end, he still left a spatial ring, which contained a hundred gold pounds and a few spell knowledge of the undead system and sent it to the intelligence officer.

"When you're fine, learn more and don't focus on the gold pound!"

After doing this, Wayne dodged away, and continued to look without eyes.

And after the intelligence officer noticed the spatial ring and the contents inside, not only was he not happy, but looked around with a frightened face.

"Shadow Chief, I'm going to learn knowledge and work hard to become a wizard!!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... Don't report me, I don't want to lose my status as an intelligence officer......"

A job like this, which is safe, easy, and well-welfare, is a dream gift for an apprentice wizard!

Fortunately, this was not heard by Wayne, otherwise he would have beaten the young intelligence officer in the face.

Safe? Relaxed? Good welfare?

- What kind of story are you telling?
