Chapter 92: Taste the explosion, Mr. Shadow
"Aled!" (Seal: Shattered!)
Lacey didn't pay attention to those bullets, kicked off the ground, jumped over, and punched out.
"Flicker."
After the bullet was fired, Wei En dodged out immediately, with no intention of getting close to Lacey again.
However, the third flickering spell in a short period of time directly consumed 10% of his mental power...
giving him a headache.
At this consumption rate, at most three times, his mental power will be exhausted.
Lacey shook off the gravel on his hand, ignored the phantom clone who was casting a charm spell, and turned his head to look at Wei En, who was fifty meters away. "Not bad, this spell is very suitable for you... huh?" He didn't say anything
. After finishing, she quickly looked to the other side.
How could this bullet happen?
Obviously she had dodged, but the six bullets shot towards her in a wide circle.
Lacey's expression changed slightly. She didn't know why, but when she saw those bullets, she felt a faint threat in her heart.
how come?
"Cool and Virtuous!" (Seal: Shield Guard!)
Lacey did not dare to raise her voice. She clenched her fists and crossed them forward, summoning a cyan barrier to protect her whole body.
Immediately afterwards, bullets landed on the barrier, instantly turning into ashes and making a crackling sound.
[Your musket hit Lacey Janese Montoya, but you did not cause any damage to her, and the death characteristic cannot be triggered. Comment: You're a weakling. You're useless even if you're given a chance. You should try harder. 】
Grandma's, it really can't break through the defense, and all the characteristics are useless.
In fact, Wei En discovered this as early as yesterday's battle.
The bullets hit those people's shields. Although the panel indicated a hit, if it did not cause damage to them, the death feature would not be triggered at all.
However, Wei En did not intend to give up. Taking advantage of the gap in Lacey's defense, he grabbed a handful of bullets and sprinkled them in the air.
In a flash, his hands flew up and down, loading bullets, loading the musket, and shooting... In just two seconds, the bullets were empty.
Before Lacey could make another move, all the bullets landed on the same point instantly, breaking her seal.
"Axiril!" (Seal: Blade of Strong Wind!)
A huge light blade struck out, smashed all the bullets and then flew out, hitting the rune array in the arena, causing ripples.
Marco, who was watching the battle, looked at this scene in surprise, "Lacey, you actually took out an axe, do you need to be so serious?" But he was thinking in his heart
, the action of reloading and shooting in the air is so cool, write it down.
"Shut up!"
Lacey held the ax in both hands and looked at Wei En with a solemn face. The feeling just now...
was unmistakable.
If she was hit by those bullets - she would die!
Wei En raised his hand helplessly, "I surrender, Captain."
He knew the result would be like this...
Facing Lacey's powerful transcendent, it would be difficult to make a difference with just the current standard muskets.
Even if he summoned Sawa and cooperated with the undead rage, it would only extend the fighting time for a few more minutes.
The results won't change either.
Lacey retracted the ax in both hands, showed a pleased smile, and praised: "I didn't expect your spear skills to be so strong. Combined with the flash, it is enough to deal with the first-level disaster." The first-level disaster is the pollution caused by ordinary people
. Aberration type, the strength is much lower than that of captain level.
"Wei En, aren't you the apprentice of the ghost? Where are your ghosts and the mechanical parts you bought a few days ago?"
Marco was so excited just now that he thought Wei En was hiding his clumsiness, so he winked and said, "There's no need to save face for Lacey, just use whatever ability you have." "How about you come?" Lacey glanced at
him from the corner of her eye. A cold light appears.
"No, no, the injuries from yesterday's battle haven't healed yet..."
"Hmph, you should work harder, Marco. Otherwise, Wei En's strength will surpass you in a while." "
What?"
Marco was stunned. After a moment, "Are you serious?"
"What do you think?"
After saying that, Lacey put on her coat, turned around and left the arena.
For her, the stronger the investigators of the First Division, the better.
Only in this way can we better deal with the next case, especially Wei En... It's time for him to team up with Tina and go out.
"Is what she said true, Wei En? Your strength has improved so quickly?"
Wei En scratched the corners of his swollen eyes and smiled shyly, "You are still far from your elder brother." "
That's it. ."
Marco looked at him thoughtfully, but he didn't expect that there would be a monster-like newcomer in the investigation department.
In addition, the candidate saint Kali has not yet arrived...
It will be impossible if we don't work hard.
Wayne didn't care whether he could surpass Marco in strength. Through the wrestling with Lacey, he had a clear understanding of the next direction.
To put it bluntly, the skills he has now are only suitable for torturing vegetables.
Especially for those enemies whose strength is lower than him and whose numbers are very large, the lethality of the musket combined with the corpse explosion technique is not much worse than that of Lacey Marko and the others.
But the shortcoming is very obvious, that is, his burst is too poor.
If he encounters an extraordinary person like Lacey in front, he will probably have no choice but to run away...
"Eruption..."
The six-barreled shotgun is considered a kind of weapon. If it can really achieve what the mechanical transformer said, it should be improved.
But this is not enough, he needs more powerful firearms, or single-target spells with extremely high damage!
At this time, Tina, who was grabbing the hem of his clothes, suddenly said: "Four heads."
"Huh?"
Wei En looked up at the little Axis and introduced: "I'll teach you how to distinguish them. Rune Brand The most numerous are called ghosts, the least are called red ghosts, and the remaining two are the secret master and the driver. Do you remember?" "
Tina, remember."
The white-haired girl grinned and fought with the ghosts and the others. Hello.
But it made the little Assi turn their heads quickly, looking like they were afraid of her.
When Wei En saw this, he just smiled and took Tina back to the office to continue studying the drawings of the mechanical puppet.
Now he has four original sub-bodies, among which the ghost is the necromancy system, the driver is the puppet system mechanical wizard system, the red ghost is the flesh and blood enhancement system, and the last secret master is the elemental magic system of the spiritual occult school.
From this point of view, the secret technique system of the Ghost School does have its own unique features.
However, each origin sub-body is a different spell system, and the knowledge and energy required to learn is not as simple as multiplying by four.
In addition to the general use of runes, the undead system requires the study of undead summoning, transformation and epidemic poison.
Puppet mechanical wizards must be proficient in the knowledge of various mechanical productions and learn the ability to manipulate puppets.
The flesh and blood enhancement system is simpler, but there are also many enhancement skills to learn.
Finally, there is the elemental spell system. In addition to the knowledge of spells and runes, there is also divination, astrology, mysticism and other knowledge to learn.
Thinking about it this way, Wei En is already a little dizzy.
If there are several more original sub-bodies coming in the future...
he is like this, you can imagine what kind of life those wizards in the secret system of the school will live.
It is estimated that they spent most of their time immersed in study and research, working hard to strengthen the spell system.
...
...
It wasn't until three o'clock that Carly, accompanied by Yegor, came to the office of the first department.
"Lacey, I have brought the newly hired investigator. Come and take her with you."
Yegor still looked lazy, as if he was not bringing a candidate saint of the Dawn Church, but someone like A dispensable ordinary investigator like Wayne.
It is worth mentioning that he did not attend the morning celebration ceremony, but directly asked Deputy Director Balaz for a half-day leave.
Reason...well, not enough cigars.
The senior committee members of the Secret Adjustment Department blew their beards and glared in anger, but they couldn't do anything about him.
It has to be said that such an obscure minister in the Logistics and Investigation Department has caused a lot of trouble for the people below.
Lacey didn't give him any face, and drove him away directly: "Leave the rest to me, you go back." "
Of course, you are the most capable officer in our investigation department, leave it to you..."
"Get out!"
Ye Ge Without saying a word, I turned around and left, leaving only a trail of smoke floating stubbornly in the office.
Carly: "..."
She glanced at Yegor in confusion, and then at Lacey, whose face was filled with impatience. Didn't he say that he was the minister?
Why is this person's attitude...
After Yegor left, Lacey said with a normal expression: "Everyone welcomes Miss Carly Morris to come to our investigation."
She did not mention Carly's identity, nor did she say The Church of Dawn, like Yegor, treats Carly as an ordinary investigator.
Wayne and Marco applauded in unison, "Welcome."
Only Tina tilted her head and looked at Carly, playing with the clown doll without moving.
Carly had already changed into the investigator's uniform, and folded her hands on her lower abdomen. "Thank you everyone."
She also noticed Wei En standing behind her, and her eyes couldn't help but feel a little more joyful, as if his appearance brought her joy. It brought great courage.
Then Lacey introduced everyone, "Carly, in the future we will work together, and I will not take special care of you because of your status." "No problem,"
Carly nodded obediently, "Come on. The teacher has told me before that I should study hard with everyone."
Marco said enthusiastically: "Don't worry, just ask me if you don't understand anything, I..."
Bang,
before he could finish speaking, Lacey punched him Next, "Forgot to say, you should stay away from Marco in the future."
"Hey? Lacey, how can you slander in front of a beautiful lady..."
Bang,
"Slander?"
"No, no, no, no, It hurts, it hurts, I was wrong..."
Lacey was still worried about what happened at the previous reception, but she would not tolerate him. If he dared to use her to make money, he would have to suffer the consequences!
Carly covered her mouth and looked at them in surprise, hesitating whether to dissuade them or move away.
"Sister Carly, sit over here." Wayne pointed to the seat behind him, helping her out.
"Yeah."
Carly quickly picked up the small box and ran over, feeling a little weird in her heart.
The appearance of this captain sister - there was no trace of elegance, dignity, generosity, or kindness. She was the type she had never been exposed to before.
Even Teacher Mary, the strictest teacher in the school, never takes action before preaching...
"Nice to see you here, Wayne."
After Carly put down her things, she whispered: "Actually, I was assigned to secretly teach you. I was a little worried when I was adjusting the division..." "
But you still agreed to come, didn't you?"
Wei En was still afraid of what happened that morning. It was hard for him to imagine what kind of changes would happen when the Lord of Dawn's eyes were really projected on him.
Although this matter may have nothing to do with Carly, it would be difficult for him to treat her like before...
To put it simply, there is a gap.
"Well, the teacher said that doing this will help me pass the Saintess Assessment faster, so..."
Saintess Assessment?
Could it be that what happened in the morning was just for Carly to pass the test and become a real saint?
Wei En said thoughtfully: "In that case, it's not a bad thing for you to come to the Secret Adjustment Department and study." "
Yeah, I think so too. I..."
At this time, Tina next to her was helpless. God's eyes stared at Carly and suddenly said: "Tina, I hate it."
Huh?
"Hate? Me?"
Carly looked at the white-haired girl blankly. Although she didn't quite understand the other party's way of speaking, it was obvious that she hated herself.
"Tina, Li Ming..."
Before Tina could finish speaking, Wayne put his hand on her head and rubbed it, "Tina, Sister Carly is a new colleague and we will work together in the future." "
Yes, Tina You can't say that."
Lacey also noticed the movement here, rushed over and hugged Tina, smiling: "Carly, don't mind, Tina doesn't have much thought." "
Yeah." Carly hesitated She paused and nodded: "I understand, Captain."
She didn't know why, but when she looked at Tina's empty eyes, she felt a sense of fear in her heart, as if the bottomless abyss would make her escape from Dawn. of asylum.
"Tina, I know."
Lacey looked around with a slight headache. She always felt that they were not like investigators, but a group of problem children who needed to be taken care of...
After thinking for a moment, she reluctantly announced: "Since there has been a change in the personnel of our first unit, and Wei En's strength is sufficient, we will regroup them." "Wai En and
Tina will be in a group, and Carly and I will be in a group . Marco, I will act alone for the time being. I will arrange it for you when new people arrive later." "
Starting from tomorrow, we will start handling cases according to their respective groups. Are you clear?"
Wei En and others looked at each other and nodded, " Okay, captain."
"Also, Wei En, when you need support, just press the siren and I will arrive in time, understand?" "Don't worry
, I will pay attention."
Wei En knows that Lacey is now Planning for grouping.
With the special characteristics of Tina's body, since she said she hated Carly, then having her together with Carly would be a hidden danger to everyone, so we simply used grouping to separate them.
This can greatly avoid accidents and is also the best way to protect everyone.
"Okay, let's get ready. The evening reception will go on as normal."
Marco asked in surprise, "Huh? Isn't it cancelled?"
"The ceremony is a ceremony, and the reception is a reception,"
said Lacey, looking at Carly. "What happened this morning was just an accident. I believe Director Alais won't mind our contact with other people in the city-state." "
Great!"
Wei En said to himself: Not good at all.
He thought that after what happened in the morning, the cocktail party in the evening was also cancelled. Unexpectedly, those people were willing to sit with the people from the Secret Service Department...
Can it be said that they were used to Director Alais's strong and domineering nature?
...
...
As the bells of Krims Cathedral rang, the red moon rose quietly, instantly covering up the sun's light, announcing the arrival of dark night.
At this time, the parliament hall located in the central area of Custer City-State was brightly lit.
Hundreds of gas lamps hung from the ceiling, and candles representing dawn were lit on the surrounding walls, illuminating every corner.
The long dining table is filled with all kinds of food and drinks. Set against the backdrop of gold and silver plates, the tempting aroma exudes, whetting your appetite.
There is also a special music area set up in a corner of the hall, where Chartrand's most popular music recently - "To the Great Dawn" is played, and the exciting and sweet harmonies echo in the hall.
Nobles from all over the city-state, officials of the city-state council, and clergymen of the Dawn Church were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and gathered together in twos and threes, with a few bursts of laughter from time to time.
In the center of the hall are today's protagonists, everyone from the Secret Service, several priests from the Dawn Church, and representatives from the city-state parliament and the noble committee.
From the Secret Adjustment Department, under the leadership of Deputy Director Balaz, three senior members and two ministers came.
One of them is the reluctant Minister of Logistics and Investigation Yegor.
The person representing the Church of Dawn was also replaced by the guardian knight from the city-state of Kelland - Melbert Osiris.
With the mediation of Harrington, the deputy speaker of the Custer City-State Parliament, and the old Earl Ernst, the representative of the noble committee, the two parties finally successfully completed the praise of Carly for joining the Secret Adjustment Division.
Everything seemed so friendly and peaceful.
Well, except for Wayne...
[You are targeted by Melbell Osiris' murderous intent. Comment: If I were you, I would never appear in front of a powerful minister. Oh, in the parlance of the Church of Dawn, it is the Paladin level. Reward: Survival Points +3. 】
Wei En cursed secretly, and was finally discovered by this foolish guardian knight.
"Sister Lacey, the cocktail party doesn't seem to be interesting. Can I hang around here?"
If you stay here any longer, it's hard to say that you won't be killed by a sudden sword.
Lacey nodded and said, "It's okay to go for a walk, but don't go too far. After the reception is over, I will take you to a safe area to stay." "
Yes."
Wei En quickly stood up and left the temporary stage. , Tina wanted to follow, but was held down by Lacey.
As for Marco... he has long since disappeared. It is said that he was called over by Miss Lydia, who had returned from Clander, for a "friendly" chat.
Carly, who was sitting in the middle, also noticed his departure and hesitated for a moment but still did not leave her seat.
Unlike Wei En, today, as the person with the highest status in Dawn Church, she needs to receive blessings from all parties...
Melbell, who was sitting next to her, looked at Wei En's back expressionlessly and raised her fingers. He hesitated for a moment, but finally let it go.
All this was seen by Tina opposite, a trace of madness flashed in her godless eyes, and the clown in her hand shook even more.
Dawn... Orpheus...
[You are targeted by Melbell Osiris' murderous intent. Comment: I suspect you stuffed money into that bitch of Lady Luck. Reward: Survival Points +2. ]
[You are targeted by Ognyan Sherman's murderous intent. Comment: Gee, an interesting person is here. Reward: Survival Points +2. 】
Huh?
He's actually here too?
Wei En calmly took a glass of juice from the waiter, pretended to be curious while drinking, and looked around.
Even if he can't be found outside, this hall is only five hundred meters away, and the entire hall is within his range of perception. He doesn't believe he can't find that person yet.
"Good evening, Mr. Investigator."
At this time, a slightly hoarse voice sounded in his ears, "Are you lost?"
Wei En looked for the sound, and his heart suddenly shook, "You—— "
"Shh," the visitor put a finger to his lips, with a deep smile in his eyes, "I think we have a lot to talk about, what do you think? Mr. Wizard Apprentice from the Ghost School?"
"Of course."
Wei En suppressed the throbbing in his heart and looked at the person... and the two cold-looking heads above his head. He turned out to be a wizard from the Ghost School!
"Introduce yourself, I am Ognyan Sherman, one of the shadows of the Ghost School in the city of Custer. What about you? Mr. Apprentice?"
Ognyan Sherman? ?
Is that the person who has been following him and being hostile to him?
Unexpectedly, before he could find him, the other party came to him first.
And what is the Shadow, the intelligence agent hiding in Custer?
Wayne forced himself to calm down, "Wayne Loft, the intelligence officer of the Ghost School stationed in the city of Custer, nice to meet you. I didn't know that Shadow was..."
Ognian waved his hand and said: "This is not for talking. Come with me."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the side of the hall, where was the exit leading to the outside of the parliament.
Wei En looked at his back and subconsciously touched the space ring on his hand. He had stored the weapon in it before coming.
After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and followed, quietly holding the "alarm" in one hand. If something goes wrong, he'll immediately press the button and ask for Lacey's help.
After walking through the deep corridor and arriving at a slightly dim building next to the hall, Ognyan stopped.
"I thought you didn't dare to follow me, Intelligence Officer Wei En."
He was thin, wearing a black tuxedo, with gray and white hair, small but sharp eyes, and a tall hair under his nose. Two neatly trimmed mustaches.
Standing in the shadows, playing with a small and exquisite black cane from time to time, with the two little Assi behind him, the whole person looked so gloomy.
"Why not? We both belong to the Ghost School... Sorry, you should have been promoted to an official wizard, right? Please forgive me for seeing you, I am still a little panicked..." Wei En consciously showed a low
profile, hoping to reduce the opponent's attitude. alert.
"For wizards, wizard apprentices and formal wizards are nothing. Knowledge is the only criterion to measure us."
Ognyan said as if pointing out: "And you are not ordinary. This is the first time I have seen you. There is an apprentice with four origin sub-bodies..."
Wei En looked at him pretending to be puzzled, "Huh? Is it rare? You also have two?"
Knowledge?
It seems that Mr. Ognyan does not have much knowledge. The two rune marks on his head... one, two, three, four, five?
After excluding the two soul-eating runes, there are only three - summoning of the undead, undead rage, and an unknown spell rune?
So weak, ah no, so few?
"Yes, I also have two original sub-bodies..."
Ognian's hand movements paused for a moment, and then he naturally changed the direction and rotated the cane, "Okay, I'm not talking to you about this, but There are other things."
"Please tell me," Wei En quickly followed the memory of his predecessor and performed a wizard's salute.
"Are you on the same team as Miss Carly, the candidate for the saint?"
"Yes, as you can see, I was unlucky to be involved in this celebration..."
"Unlucky?" Ognyan He chuckled lightly, "Should I say you are smart, or should I say you are stupid?"
Wei En kept smiling, "I don't quite understand what you mean...or if you are willing, could you tell me what the shadow is?"
He made a crazy complaint: You are so stupid. You were so murderous towards me before and you dared to expose it... If you didn't need to know more, I would have called for reinforcements to kill you right now.
"The so-called shadow is a different rank in the intelligence department that belongs to the same department as you low-level intelligence officers. You can understand that my identity is more secretive." "So that's it. Thank you Lord Wizard Ognyan for clearing up the confusion.
"
It turns out it was you, the person who went to the liaison officer to dismantle my station before!
Wait, he seemed to be talking about one of the shadows of Custer City State before?
Does this mean that besides him, there are other shadows?
Ognyan looked at him displeased, "Don't call me a wizard here." "
Okay, okay, I don't know what you just asked...do you need me to cooperate with you?" "
No. Wrong, I need you to provide me with information about the saint candidate, all of it!"
Wei En frowned slightly, "I don't quite understand. Since you already know her identity, and you know how to collect information better than me, why? ..."
"I have a special status, so I can't walk around all the time."
Special status?
Being hostile to me, bypassing the liaison officer and proactively arranging my work, and also being a hidden member of the Ghost School, Shadow...
really... keeping a low profile doesn't mean I'm a fool, Mr. Shadow.
Thinking of this, the corner of Wayne's mouth curled up, "I understand, you should have other more important things." "
Now, do you know what to do?"
"I don't know."
"If you know... eh?" Ognian was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed with a sinister look, and his voice became cold: "What did you say?"
Wei En coughed and said with a smile: "Sure enough, people of your age are a little old. Deafness is one of the diseases, but..."
"I forgive you, listen carefully, I do not agree with your request."
"You are looking for death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ognyan waved his cane fiercely and chanted coldly: "Adagua!" He
saw two little axis on the other side suddenly opened their bloody mouths and rushed towards him.
"Nico, Luke." (Flashing.)
Wei En was already prepared. He flashed fifty meters away, leaving a phantom clone on the spot. He faced the two heads and murmured in a low voice: "Mens, Di." (Charm.)
"Elemental system of the esoteric school? You have a lot of gold pounds..." Ognian's blow had no effect, and he waved his cane again, "Diagulaga!" Now
he only I want that hateful, damned, shameless, and disgusting apprentice in front of me to shut up forever.
The summoning circle appeared on the ground, followed by several "kicking" sounds.
One, no, two figures appeared in the center of the circle. They were an undead knight riding a skeletal horse and holding a long sword.
"Lü~"
"Redi, Dun, Wall." (Ice Charge.)
"It's an undead creature..."
And this is definitely an undead creature below the captain level, so I won't be polite!
"Abdel Jalil!" (Mechanical Box!)
Wei En flashed out again, summoning the mechanical door. At the same time, the gun in his hand fired a series of bullets, drawing several weird curves and hitting the undead knight.
[You hit the undead knight with a musket, triggering the death characteristic - disaster, that is, the death progress is 1/5. Evaluation: Undead creatures do not get sick or age. Reward: Survival point +1. 】
Won’t get sick or age?
It’s okay if disaster can take effect!
Bang, bang...
[You hit the undead knight with a musket, triggering the death characteristic - disaster, which means the death progress is 5/5. Evaluation: Undead creatures do not get sick or age. Reward: Survival point +1. 】
【……】
When Wei En knew that the death characteristic would take effect, he had already flashed to the side of Ognyan, and after luring the undead knight to rush towards him, he flashed out again.
At the same time, he avoided Ognyan's other spell - Shadow Entanglement. The effect... Countless arms crawled out from the ground, apparently trying to grab his feet.
[The undead knight triggers the death characteristic-death immediately, dead. Comment: Tsk, the immortal will die too? Special rewards: +4 survival points, +2 marksmanship, +1 spiritual level. 】
That’s it now!
"Siyam, Sil, Suter!" (Corpse Explosion!)
Tsk, more than half of the spiritual power has been consumed...
But, let's have a taste of the explosion, Mr. Shadow!
Thanks to Mr. KOK_Ni_ for the tip, thank you! !
