Chapter 107: Chaos breaks out, new partner
, in a dilapidated house in Idrisu neighborhood.
Unlike the neat three-story spire buildings around it, this dilapidated house not only has only two floors, but is also separated from other buildings by a kilometer.
inside the house.
Squeak.
A black lantern stretched out from the open door on the ground and gradually rose higher.
Lacey glanced around and then whispered: "There is no one, come out."
With that, she and Carly climbed out of the basement and looked around by the light of the lantern.
Messy and worn-out wooden furniture, layers of yellow spider webs illuminated by lanterns, and dissatisfied rats hiding in the corner with their eyes open.
"Where is this?" Carly asked a little disgraced.
"I don't know, but according to the direction, this should be somewhere in the Idrisu neighborhood, or..."
Lacey waved his ax with both hands to smash the nailed wooden window in the room, "Well, have we arrived at the northern sentry tower? ?"
A blush shone in, making the whole room slightly brighter.
Squeak...
A few mice that had just woken up from their deep sleep were illuminated by the light of the red moon.
Almost instantly, the mouse's gray eyes were covered with a layer of red light, its body began to shake violently, and one after another tiny tentacles came out of its body.
"Roar -"
"Axiril!"
Lacey was a little impatient by their noises. He swung his ax with both hands, and the cyan light blade passed by, causing these newly deformed mice to die miserably.
Carly covered her mouth and looked at the rat aberrations that were split in two. Their tentacles were squirming and struggling, and red and green mucus stained the wooden floor...
"Northern sentry tower, is it that far away?"
"Yeah , go out and have a look.”
Lacey walked ahead with a lantern and walked up and down the house. She returned to the first floor and frowned, "I didn't find anything..."
Carly bit her lip and said, "They disappeared?"
" He probably left through that underground passage in a way we don't know."
"Then what should we do now?"
Snap.
Lacey put the lantern in her hand on the table, put away the ax in her hands, and sat casually on a chair that was still intact. "Wait, wait until dawn."
Carly looked at the messy scene around her and hesitated. , took out a hand towel, cleaned up a clean chair, and sat down.
"Sister Lacey, who do you think they are? They don't look like they are contaminated..." "
Who knows?"
Lacey closed her eyes to rest, "In the city-state, it's not just the aberrations that kill people. The pagans you mentioned in Dawn, and...well," "
People who are oppressed by despair to the point of collapse, bewitched, or parasitized or manipulated are all possible."
Carly was stunned for a moment. Except for the pagans, others Everything is not within the teachings of the teachers. It turns out that she has to face more than just pagans...
"Then, why did they..."
"You don't think this world is like what you saw before, do you?"
Lacey Opening his eyes and looking at her, the corners of his mouth turned up, "Seeing you look like this now reminds me of the way Wayne looked when he went on his first mission." "
Wayne?" Carly reacted, "He is just like me. Really?"
"They're all the same innocent, haha."
"Yes, really?" "
In fact, I quite like taking you new investigators on missions." Lacey smiled, "That's it Make me feel less bad when handling these cases."
Carly lowered her head slightly in embarrassment, "Sorry, I, I will try my best."
"I believe you in this, just like that boy Wei En has become more reliable now. But..." "
Nothing more?"
"But work is work. Don't let the various cases you have seen and heard affect you. ...Remember that you are not anyone else, you are just yourself!"
Carly's golden eyes reflected Lacey's solemn look, and a trace of confusion flashed across her face, is she herself?
After a while, she nodded and said: "I understand, Sister Lacey." "
Well, let's rest and ask for support from the ministry after daybreak. If Tina is here, we will never let those guys escape tonight Dropped."
"Ah, I'm sorry."
"It's not your problem..."
When the room quieted down, Carly hugged her knees with her hands and curled up on the chair. What she just said echoed in her mind, be yourself, be yourself, do... ...
What they didn't know was that on the roof of a three-story building a few kilometers away, Melbell stood under the red moon, with a faint silvery-white glow emerging from her body, quietly looking at the dilapidated house.
Under the mysterious patterned mask, something strange flashed in his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Punish heretics and grow up as soon as possible..."
On the other side of the dilapidated house, it is also the northernmost city of Custer City. The sentry tower stands on a 30-meter-high city wall made of huge stones.
At this time, dozens of city guards wearing thick armor in the sentry tower were divided into two teams, one facing outwards and the other facing inward to guard the safety of the surroundings.
As many as twelve wall lamps were hung on the wall outside the guard tower, shrouded in the light of dawn, so that they did not have to worry about being contaminated by the red moon.
"Captain, it's quite peaceful tonight. Why don't you take a rest first?" "
Yes, Captain, you have to prepare a birthday gift for little Sally tomorrow morning. We'll see that there will be no problem with you here."
The tall city guard captain looked at the clock, shook his head and said: "It will be dawn in two hours, forget it, I will rest after my shift." The deputy captain said with a smile: "Don't blame me
. I didn't remind you, but little Sally has been coveting that doll for a long time."
"What do you mean...huh?"
The guard captain's expression condensed, and he looked at the black figure that appeared in the sentry tower, with a trace of panic in his eyes. , "Be on guard!!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then took two steps back at the same time and looked around cautiously. It was only then that they discovered that there was an extra person in the corner.
The black shadow raised a finger to his mouth, "Shh, you guys are too loud, you've disturbed my little baby."
"Damn it, Luo An!" The captain didn't dare to relax at all, and after shouting Then he pulled out his sharp sword, "No matter who you are, if you dare to break into the sentry tower, you will die!"
As he said that, he rushed towards the black shadow first, followed closely by the city guards behind him.
The deputy captain named Luo An ran towards the alarm on the wall. As long as he pressed the alarm here, it would be transmitted to the city guard headquarters in the center of the city-state. Just...
tear!
The black shadow passed through the crowd and instantly passed the vice-captain, blocking him in front of him.
"What?!"
"This can't be done. If I ask you to warn those noble gentlemen, my mission will fail." The
black shadow held an ancient thin sword, made a sword flower, and chuckled: "Little darlings, they are yours."
Countless gray insects the size of silkworm chrysalises emerged from under him and pounced on the city guards.
When the captain saw these little bugs, his eyes were filled with tears, "Be careful!!" "
Ah -"
After a while, everything quieted down. The city guards were still on duty dutifully, but they had an extra look in their eyes. A layer of blood
...
When, when...
the bells of Krims Cathedral rang, Wayne put down his quill, looked at the completed design drawings on the parchment, and showed a smile.
Since the secret weapon's standard musket is too weak, let's make two more powerful guns.
With the experience of making a mechanical puppet last night and the knowledge of firearms gained through gunmanship, he was very confident in creating a gun that was far more powerful than the current one.
These two design drawings are respectively a sniper rifle and a revolver for long-distance sniping.
Compared with standard muskets, revolvers have much greater power and effective range.
In order to facilitate loading, Wei En specially designed the revolver to be a few sizes larger, with fifteen bullets in a circle.
According to the trigger value of the death characteristic, one shot is enough for an ordinary captain to trigger the instant death characteristic.
The sniper rifle also had an increased magazine like the revolver.
Wei En was not stupid enough to install a scope. With a sensing range of nearly two kilometers and extremely strong physical fitness, seeing distant targets was no less effective than a scope.
Therefore, he put more energy into the design of the rune array.
That's right,
Wayne got inspiration from the mechanical puppet. He wanted to add a rune array to the sniper rifle to increase the performance of the sniper rifle.
At the same time, using the rune array as the core can also provide the sniper rifle with more powerful kinetic energy.
Of course, he didn't choose runes like Strong Heart. He specifically found two runes from Jerry's handwriting.
One is a haste rune that increases the speed of bullets, and the other rune mainly increases the power of bullets - the burst rune.
According to Wei En's idea, as long as he uses the powerful power of the sniper rifle to cause damage to the enemy, he can use other firearms to trigger the death characteristic.
Especially monsters like the Dark Dog.
If the call of the Undead Claws hadn't frightened the Dark Dog last night, it's hard to say whether the spell would have hit the target due to its long lead time.
But now that he has a sniper rifle, he doesn't have to go through so much trouble.
In addition, due to the size of the revolver, Wei En did not choose to engrave the rune array on it.
I only plan to modify the Secret Adjustment Department's standard musket to try to retain its ability to use magic potions.
After completing the production of these two firearms, he also plans to make another Gatling-like machine gun to give full play to the characteristics of the death characteristic trigger.
Well, the picture is a bit abrupt... He is a wizard.
If you really want to make a Gatling, use it for the Type Zero. I believe it can handle that style with its size.
However, this is not without problems. The biggest problem is the ammunition...the round bullets issued by the Secret Adjustment Department are obviously not suitable for new firearms.
Therefore, Wei En also specially designed bullets.
At the same time, in order to avoid trouble, he decided to use bullets of the same caliber for both new guns, and he only needed to take a certain amount of time to replenish the ammunition consumption.
"Tsk, I hope Type Zero can grow faster, so that it can do all this work in the future."
Really, the black-hearted master is...
[You successfully drew the rapid rune. Special rewards: +3 survival points, +1 spiritual level. ]
[You successfully drew the bursting rune...]
[...]
[Congratulations on obtaining a full-level rune knowledge. Your rune proficiency promotion progress is: 12/100. Special reward: Spirit level +1. 】
After spending 20 survival points to increase the two runes to full level, he combined the cornerstone (god of death) rune and the spiritual transformation rune to form a rune array suitable for a sniper rifle.
Looking at the newly designed sniper rifle drawings, Wei En nodded with satisfaction.
The gun is 1.5 meters long, the barrel is 50 centimeters, and the gun body is nearly 80 centimeters long without the handle.
And in order not to attract attention, Wei En deliberately designed the shape of the sniper rifle to be less refined and more in line with the style of this world.
The gun body is covered with some gears, pipes and decorative rivets, and the entire gun looks much more rugged.
And on the gun body near the trigger, at the core of the rune array, he also reserved a node for transmitting the source.
In this way, he can use the rune power through the driver in subsequent battles. This is also an early attempt to add weapons to the Zero.
If this method is feasible, then the external weapons of the mechanical puppet can be integrated into the whole, and it will be more convenient for the driver to operate it.
After doing this, Wayne checked the remaining materials for making the mechanical puppet.
"Well, the materials are a bit different."
Especially the Thrall metal used to engrave the rune array, he needs to repurchase and replenish it.
"Including the 10 gold pounds that Claire received from the transaction, there are still 14 gold pounds and 5 shillings left."
A pound of Sal metal costs 18 shillings, and it is expected to consume about 5 pounds, plus other metals and Some auxiliary materials...
The cost of making this sniper rifle is 15 gold pounds, which is equivalent to a quarter of the price of a mechanical puppet.
Thinking of this, Wei En took out the blue and white box and used all the gold pounds to exchange for the materials for making the enlightenment potion.
Although only eighteen enlightenment potions can be made, if they are all made into perfect potions, you can get nearly 60 gold pounds, which is enough to last for a while.
"Make money, make money!"
Wei En didn't stop for a moment and started brewing the enlightenment potion, all for the sake of the new sniper rifle.
"Oh, you are so diligent so early in the morning, you are so boring~"
The sudden voice made Wayne's hands tremble. He looked at the slightly deviated characteristic fusion in the crucible, "Ms. Claire, please don't show up suddenly while I'm working." "Sorry, sorry,
"
Claire crossed her legs and sat on the work table watching his movements with interest, "I have to say, you look very charming when making potions~" "
In your words..."
Wayne curled his lips, thinking I secretly felt sorry for the loss of two gold pounds. The quality of this bottle of potion could only reach excellent level at best.
"You seem to be in a much better mood?"
Claire's smile froze, obviously thinking about the injury last night, and said with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "You are really not cute at all." "
It seems that the injury last night, You still remember."
"Of course, that hateful old guy, I must let him know the consequences of provoking me. I have..."
Claire said angrily in the middle of the sentence, suddenly stopped, and stared with bright eyes He asked charmingly, "Are you concerned about me?"
"..." Wei En glanced at her helplessly, "Pretend I didn't say anything."
Is this considered concern? I'm just worried.
He was worried that after her sudden death, no one would be willing to spend 5 pounds to buy a case file.
Yes, it is like that.
"I'm sure, you're just not cute at all." Claire snorted: "Have you read that relic?" "
Yes..."
Wei En remembered what happened last night and said angrily: "Where did your relic come from? There aren't many words in Gonzalez that I know." Not
only could the proficient level of Gonzalez not be translated, but the content in it actually attracted the attention of the demon clown.
Not only did he waste his survival points, but he also had to worry about the sudden visit of the demon clown... No, it was a sudden attack.
"Can you understand something?"
"It can only be seen that it is a period of history in the early third era. It was a huge empire called the Turing Empire." "The Turing Empire..."
Claire muttered to herself when she heard the name, and her eyes became more and more intense. Brightened up, "I knew this relic was not simple!"
"Do you know this empire?"
"I don't know."
Wei En: "..."
Damn it, you didn't know that you were so sure?
"I only know that the relics related to the early third era are not simple things. There must be a huge treasure hidden on them." "Treasure?" "
Well
, some knowledge that has been lost, or a few pieces that only exist About legendary equipment and so on."
Wei En was somewhat interested in this, but not that interested. No matter how much knowledge there is, is it as comprehensive as the inherited knowledge gained after upgrading Runes and Potions?
As for the equipment...well, it should be inferior to those forbidden items with unpredictable power.
"You haven't told me yet, where did you get this relic?"
Claire was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Wayne's reaction to be so dull.
"Don't worry about it. In short, I guarantee that after you finish the translation, the harvest you will get will definitely be far beyond your imagination, not even much less than me." "In the current era, many extraordinary
people have grown up through this. You won't Do you think that other people can improve their strength through learning like wizards?"
These words sounded familiar.
Oh, I remembered, Marco said something similar before.
Wei En asked suspiciously: "You also need to eat some flesh and blood food with special pollution characteristics?"
He thought that the Eternal Life Church was similar to the Church of Dawn, which followed a supernatural system of belief.
"...Don't mention that," a look of disgust flashed across Claire's face, "Those extraordinary bloodline inheritors are really disgusting in order to improve their strength."
"Oh, it seems you have seen it before."
"Many of the Eternal Life Society are top leaders from various extraordinary families. They are all... huh? Are you trying to get information from me?" "You don't want to say anything
. ." Wei En kept moving his hands, pouring this bottle of excellent enlightenment potion into the glass bottle.
Seeing his indifferent attitude, Claire licked her lips and said, "You'll know it sooner or later anyway, so I'll tell you some common sense in advance. Do you know where the extraordinary bloodline comes from?" How did it come about
?
This Wei En really knows that there are many records about the family in the memory of his predecessor.
According to what was said above, the extraordinary bloodline of the Loft family was obtained by its founder through a strange ritual circle after he accidentally entered a ruins.
"Sacrifice ceremony?"
"That is just the process of obtaining extraordinary bloodline, not the source of power. The real situation is that they all obtained extraordinary bloodline by merging flesh and blood with polluted characteristics." Wei En's eyes flickered
. "It's really..."
He had made such a guess before.
The more obvious one is Captain Ariana from Investigation Part 2. His appearance when using extraordinary powers is completely abnormal.
Well, the transformation effect of Marco's blood of chaos is the same.
"But now most extraordinary bloodlines were obtained in the old calendar. At that time, many people obtained bloodline abilities inherited from the previous era." "
Old calendar? Last era?"
Claire rarely showed seriousness on her face. Expression, "After the beginning of this era of the Old Calendar, there was a period of chaos and disorder before the beginning of the New Calendar, and the last era was the Fourth Era." "In fact, the duration of the Old Calendar was not short, it lasted nearly a thousand years
... "
Wayne's eyes narrowed slightly, "A thousand years?"
Remember what the clown said last night, 3383 years have passed since the beginning of this era, right?
A simple calculation can show that the old calendar lasted even longer than the new calendar. The exact number is 1805...
But according to Claire, it was only a thousand years. What about the remaining eight hundred years?
"Then how did the New Calendar start?"
"The New Calendar..."
Claire's eyes flickered and she changed the topic: "It's a bit far-fetched. In short, the extraordinary family is not as glamorous as they show. It's a desperate move to survive."
"..."
It's like this again, only half of the speech is spoken.
The same thing happened with Kali's Beloved last time.
Wei En cursed, "Looking at it this way, they are really pitiful."
"Pity? Do you think so?"
"Huh?"
"Including our Eternal Life Society, there are differences in power, but it is just for survival. , it’s just a way to survive for the sake of inheritance.”
“I guess you’re right.” Wei En didn’t want to get entangled with her on this issue.
Claire looked at him deeply, "I'm looking forward to the day when you join the Eternal Life Society! Don't eat at night, I will bring you some food." After
saying that, she jumped into the shadows and disappeared.
"Join the Eternal Life Society..."
Forget it, it doesn't sound like a good choice.
Wayne shrugged, put the question behind him, and continued busy making the enlightenment potion.
As for what Claire said about bringing food back...just listen to it. Didn't she just do it last night?
After working hard until after nine o'clock, Wei En finished making all the potions. He looked at the shining perfect enlightenment potion on the table, "It seems that there is no time in the morning to make a sniper rifle..." He
said , he put all the potions into the space ring, packed up the workbench, and left the studio.
Wayne still remembered Franta's invitation last time. He also went to the Nightmare World to attend the small party in the evening. It would not be too late to sell the potions then.
The transformation of the sniper rifle and revolver will be done after returning from the party.
Not long after, he made some breakfast and went to the attic to wake up Tina, who was still sleeping soundly.
"Tina, get up."
The white-haired girl didn't seem to notice that she had changed to another room. After getting up, she washed up honestly and then ate breakfast quietly while carrying the clown doll.
Wayne also called out the zombie lady who had been hiding in the bedroom and sat at the dining table.
According to his idea, since we live under one roof, we must be neat and tidy.
Looking at the people sitting around the dining table, Wei En was eating butter braised snow mushrooms while thinking about this strange configuration with a smile to himself.
A scary disaster species that looks cute but is actually lonely, and a demonic clown doll that looks harmless but is a terrifying taboo.
And he, the ghost wizard with four original sub-bodies.
Relatively speaking, among the people present, the zombie lady who is an undead creature looks the most normal...
If you include the elusive Claire, this residence will probably make most people fearful.
"Let's go, Sharapova."
Miss Zombie withdrew her eyes from the white-haired girl and bowed slightly: "Goodbye."
So he likes that...
Wei En took Tina out and just locked the apartment. At the door, I heard anxious voices coming from behind.
"Wayne!"
"Uncle Euan, are you back?"
The person who stopped him was Dr. Euan, who had been out for two days. At this time, he asked anxiously: "Don't talk about this yet, let me ask you, Carly What?"
When he returned to the clinic in the morning, he found that Carly hadn't returned home all night, and even the bed was cold.
Wei En thought of noticing that Carly hadn't come back before nightfall last night, and comforted him casually: "She went on a mission with Captain Lacey yesterday, maybe she didn't come back in time." "Going on a mission?" Yoan looked
calmer
, Then he said dissatisfiedly: "She is just a child. How can we let her live outside? I will go to Yegor to talk to him later." "Don't worry,
Captain Lacey is very strong and everything will be fine." "What
's more, the guardian knight has been following her. Sister Carly is really going to be in danger. With Melbell's temperament, she might have made a big fuss last night.
"That's not okay, what if my Carly...nothing happens."
Yoan sighed, and then he noticed Tina who was following Wayne, with a smile on his face: "We meet again, it's called Tina?"
"She's a little afraid of strangers."
Seeing that Tina didn't speak, Wei En explained on her behalf, "When I get to the Secret Adjustment Department later, I'll see if Sister Carly is there." "Then I'll leave it to you
. ."
"Well, it's almost time, I should go to the Secret Adjustment Department."
"Goodbye."
Looking at Wei En and Tina walking away, and thinking about the next thing, Euan sighed.
I just hope that Carly can stay safely in the Secret Adjustment Department...
"
Good
morning, Brother Marco."
Wayne brought Tina into the office and saw Marco with his legs on the desk. Look at the newspaper in your hand.
"Morning."
"Have Lacey and Carly not arrived yet?"
"It should have to wait." Marco revealed half of his face from under the newspaper and said resentfully: "Wayne, you really shouldn't have left yesterday. Get off me..."
Puff.
Wei En couldn't help laughing when he saw the bruises on his face and the swollen eyes.
"Still laughing..."
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't expect Lacey to arrive so soon, let alone that you would be there at that time." Marco
put down the newspaper depressedly and looked at Tina who was following Wayne. , said: "If I had known earlier, I would have been nicer to Tina. With the contract, I don't have to go out with this face." "
Huh? How about now..."
"No, no,"
Marco interrupted quickly. : "I'm just saying that although I have a very strong recovery ability, I can't use my extraordinary bloodline, which makes me scared all day long." Wei
En was a little disappointed, thinking he could get rid of the demon clown with this...
Squeak.
At this time, the office door was pushed open.
Wayne and Marco looked at the visitor and saluted: "Minister Yegor." "
Is it true that Lacey didn't come back? It seems that the situation over there is indeed not optimistic." Yegor glanced at the cigar. After turning around, his eyes stopped on Wei En, "Wei En."
"Minister, do you need us to do anything?" Wei En asked with a look on his face.
"Take Tina to support Lacey and the others. The location is in the north of Idrisu neighborhood. They should still be there." "
Okay."
"And Marco..."
"Huh?"
"Your new partner Here you go, please cooperate with her well." Yegor showed Marco a smile that everyone knew, and stepped aside to reveal the person behind him.
Marco saw the person coming clearly, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "...Lydia, are you really here?" "
You said I would come to the secret blending department, and of course I will abide by the agreement."
Lidia said mischievously . Sticking out his tongue, he looked at Wayne and Tina, bowed slightly and performed an elegant aristocratic greeting ceremony, "Nice to meet you, I am Lydia Ernst." "Wayne,
Wei Well, Loft, her name is Tina."
After Wayne introduced the two of them, he smelled a familiar scent of perfume on her body and couldn't help but look at Marco behind him and smiled narrowly.
It turned out to be the lady in the parliament hall...an acquaintance.
"Okay, that's it for now. We'll make other arrangements after Lacey comes back."
After saying that, Yegor lazily left the office.
It's really good. There is a new person in the logistics department, and the strength has become much stronger... Well, there should be no need to replace people for a long time.
"Marco, why were you beaten like this?"
Lydia put the thing next to Marco and couldn't help but laugh looking at his face.
"Um..."
"Did you provoke another young lady and get beaten up by their suitor?" "
Of course not," Marco looked at Wayne for help, brother, please help.
"Huh?"
Seeing him like this, Wayne had to interrupt: "Marco made a little mistake yesterday, and that's why he ended up like this after fighting with Captain Lacey."
He didn't mention the city that never sleeps, nor did he make up a case randomly. .
If you really say that, the secret will be exposed when Lacey comes back.
It is better to attribute the injury to the wrestling than to say that Lacey beat Marco with violence...
"Sister Lacey? That's no wonder it's like this." Lydia rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Marco, Will you take me to Natoli District at noon?"
"Huh? What am I like?"
"Hey, do you think you are welcoming me to the Secret Mixing Department?"
"No!"
"Then I will tell my brother, you... ..."
Not mentioning the quarrel between the two, Wei En packed up his things and took Tina out of the office.
I don’t know what kind of trouble Lacey and the others encountered, but they didn’t come back even after a night...
PS: Eight hundred years is just a beautiful misunderstanding, and it does not mean anything else. Don’t think about it...
Well, I will continue to write in the evening, and I may not be able to publish it. It depends on the number of words. Don’t wait any longer.
But I can be sure that the remaining three chapters will be completed this week.
(End of chapter)
