Chapter 98 - Don't fight.
At this time, Wei En has very few spells to choose from. Only by upgrading the flicker (death) spell can he escape or deal with the battle faster.
Flicker (Death) Level 2 (1/300), (2/300)...Flicker (Death) Level 2 (300/300).
[Flicker (Death) level 2 (300/300), should it be improved? 】
【Promote. ]
[Congratulations, your skill: Flicker (Death) has been upgraded to level 3. Effect: The flashing distance is increased by 100%, the mental power consumption is reduced by 10%, and the phantom clone is +1. ]
[Note 1: Flicker (Death) level 2 will generate 2 phantom clones, with 20% of the body's mental level, 20% of the toughness level, and a survival time of 20 seconds. ]
[Note 2: The phantom clone has hidden characteristics and has the ability to charm. It cannot charm creatures whose spiritual level exceeds 150% of the original body. 】
The distance increased by 100% means the range is 100 meters, and the spiritual level does not exceed 150% of the main body, which means it is below 180?
Wei En glanced at it, his mind changed quickly, and he could clearly see the effect of the flash spell.
As for the fact that the phantom clone has 20% of the basic attributes of the main body, he simply ignored it. With such a small amount of attributes, it is estimated that it cannot withstand a blow from the two people behind him.
"Yenish." (Broken bones.)
"Hold me tight, Tina." Hearing the voice behind him, Wei En growled without thinking.
"Tina, I know."
Secret Master, flash!
The little Assi who had been floating in the air and watching the two people behind them, among them, the secret master turned his head and looked forward, "Nico, Luke."
Immediately afterwards, Wei En and Tina suddenly disappeared, leaving only the place where they were. Two phantom clones were left behind.
Erno struck the phantom clone with a knife, and the soft touch made his eyes slightly cold. Did he run away?
"Mens, Dee."
The remaining phantom clone next to him looked at him, and a charm spell was thrown on him.
"Huh?"
Erno's expression was dull for a moment, and he waved the long knife in his hand wildly, "I finally caught you, you are dead." "Die, I will chop
you to death!"
"Hahaha... Tikki, I avenged you, Tikki!"
Although Collins was also affected by the charm, his spiritual level was much stronger than Erno, and he only woke up in an instant.
The dancing tentacles on his body hit the walls of the secret passage from time to time, corroding holes one by one.
"Huh? Erno, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"
Bang...
Wei En, who had escaped, also noticed this and didn't run away. He pulled out a musket with a flip of his wrist and fired a series of bullets at them.
Six bullets flew up and down covering the entire secret passage, blocking their escape route.
"You bastard, do you think you can deal with us with a gun?"
Collins angrily stood in front of Erno, and stretched out the tentacles behind his back to block the bullets.
[You hit Collins Vazquez with a musket, triggering the death characteristic - aging, which means the death progress is 1/30. Rating: Disgusting stuff. Reward: Survival Points +3. ]
[...]
[You hit Collins Vazquez with a musket, triggering the death characteristic - disease, instant death progress 6/30... Reward: Survival points +3. 】
Can the defense be broken?
Wei En's eyes lit up, he put down Tina and quickly loaded the bullet.
The charm spell doesn't last long, take advantage of Collins' immobility to hit him!
Bang, bang, bang...
"Aging, disease pollution?"
How is that possible?
How come those bullets have death properties that pollute their power?
Could it be that that boy was a follower of the Death Cult? Didn’t they say they had disappeared?
But it was obvious that now was not the time to think about this. Collins could already feel the tentacles on his body being contaminated.
In particular, the dark smear of disease pollution could actually replace his own green corrosive mucus and attack his body along the tentacles.
"Damn Elno, if you don't wake up, we'll be in trouble!"
While shouting, Collins let several tentacles that were penetrated by bullets fall off to avoid affecting himself.
Looking at the dozens of incoming bullets, he already knew that he must not touch him head-on, so he had no choice but to wrap his tentacles around Erno and dodge the bullets with him.
Only when he encounters something he can't avoid will choose to use his tentacles to resist.
"Who are you? Why do you have the characteristic power of death pollution?"
Collins did not expect that an ominous person who had not yet reached the captain level could actually cause him such big trouble with just a gun.
[You hit Collins Vazquez with a musket, triggering the death characteristic - disaster, which means the death progress is 1/30. Evaluation: Extraordinary bloodline, haha, extraordinary, hahaha... Reward: Survival points +3. ]
[...]
[You hit Collins Vazquez with a musket, triggering the death characteristic - disease, which means the death progress is 1/30... Reward: Survival Points + 3. 】
Huh?
Has the progress of the death trait been reset?
Wayne frowned. He looked at Collins, who was constantly falling off and new tentacles coming out. Is this ability too high?
Unfortunately, the space in the secret passage is too small, and the effect of [Ballistic Control] cannot be maximized, otherwise Collins would not be able to dodge so many bullets.
"Hmm, Collins? Quick, put me down quickly -"
Erno, who was caught in the tentacles and constantly being corroded, woke up, and the severe pain in his body made him scream out.
"You're finally awake, come on, help me block these bullets!" Collins quickly threw him away, "But be careful, there's something wrong with that kid's bullets." "What's the problem?"
Erno
already knew what had just happened. He was under a charm spell, and with a gloomy face, he flashed next to Collins and smashed the bullets into pieces one by one with his long knife like the wind.
"As long as it causes damage, it will bring some pollution."
"Huh?"
Seeing those bullets being shot down, Wei En knew that it would be difficult to cause damage to them, so he had no choice but to put away the musket. It seemed that he could only do this today. .
"Two members of the Vazquez family, I'm very curious about what your purpose is in targeting the Seres family?" "
You don't think you can escape this way, do you? Erno!"
"Oakley, Des , Thomas." (Aurora flashed.)
"Nico, Luke."
Wei En flashed out a hundred meters away, looking at the phantom clone chopped into pieces by the sword light, and Erno who was once again charmed, and couldn't help but He laughed and said, "Can't you still escape?"
"Damn it!"
Collins' tentacle shattered the clone, and then gave Erno a hard blow.
"Forget it, I won't play with you anymore. Next time we meet, you won't be so lucky."
"You!?"
Before Collins could speak, Wei En had already pulled Tina a hundred meters away. Since he couldn't beat her, , and he has no need to stay here.
Erno woke up and had a headache when he saw the two newly appeared phantom clones. "You can separate the twinkling spells of the clones, and can you also use charm?" "This
person is very weird. On the surface, he uses the magic of the occult school. , but his body is obviously much stronger than other wizard apprentices. The key is his bullets..."
Collins looked at Wei En who had disappeared into the secret passage with a gloomy face, "I told you not to focus on it before. It’s in the family blood.”
Thinking of those bullets with the power of death pollution and the speed at which the other party escaped, they were very different from the wizards of the occult school he had seen before.
The strength of the body alone can crush most spiritual wizards, but the spells are much less powerful.
If it were a real spiritual wizard, in such a closed space, I am afraid that he and Erno would have already started to escape.
"... Should we still pursue him?"
"Go back. He is right. If we delay any longer, we won't be able to leave."
"But..."
"There is still a chance. The most important thing now is to take Genrich away. Plus... let's go!"
After saying that, Collins turned and left without hesitation.
Erno glanced bitterly in the direction of the exit and followed him back the way he came. Next time, next time I will definitely improve my mental strength!
"Leaving?"
On the other side, Wei En, who had left the secret passage, noticed that the two people behind him did not follow him, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Just now, he used three flashes in succession to escape from the secret passage, and his spiritual power was directly consumed by more than half.
"They left?"
At this time, Saiyam sensed that the two people did not follow him, and looked deep into the secret passage not knowing what he was thinking.
"Well, fortunately they didn't come after me..."
"Investigator Wei En, please don't tell anyone what happened today."
"Huh?" Wei En thought for a while and said, "I can't tell anyone, but Our Secret Adjustment Department has internal procedures... I'm sorry."
Saiyam glanced at him and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Wei En turned around and looked at the Sleepless City not far away and those who were coming here. The guards said: "It seems that this place has been alarmed..."
"Baba, be careful!"
Little Axi didn't need to remind him. Wei En, who was extremely nervous, had already carried Tina and ran a hundred meters away. His blood-red eyes seemed to be dimmed with blood, staring at the old jazz.
"You want to kill me?"
At this time, Saiyam had a dagger in his hand, piercing the body of one of the phantom clones, and he kept waving the dagger back and forth while chattering.
"Go to hell, go to hell, why aren't you dead?"
"You have to die now, right? Hahaha..."
"Go to hell, you bastard, damn the Vazquez, damn..."
Charming, or is it?
Wayne directly summoned the mechanical door. Although he didn't know why Saiyam wanted to take action against him, since he had chosen to take action, he couldn't be blamed.
Click.
Wayne took out the six-barreled shotgun and loaded it casually. The cold metal touch made his eyes even more gloomy.
"If Xiao Axi hadn't reminded me, just now..."
"Wayne, brother." Tina pulled the corner of his clothes and stared at him with empty eyes.
"Huh?"
Hearing this voice, Wei En's eyes regained clarity and he looked at the white-haired girl beside him, "Thank you, Tina."
Because he had noticed the prompt on the panel and understood that he had just been affected by an external force. .
[You are eroded by the origin of Mitra (the Beloved), the Lord of Desire. Because your spiritual level is much lower than the other party, you are affected by the power of the origin of desire.
You are subject to killing, bloodlust...
Comment: You disturb Him. Special rewards: survival points +5, origin +1. ]
[With the help of contract power (disaster), you successfully resisted the erosion of the source of desire. Comment: I take back my previous suggestion that you terminate the contract, otherwise you will have to change it in advance... Special rewards: +5 survival points, +2 spiritual level. 】
Mitra?
Just say how could Saiyam suddenly attack him when he was in good condition.
Wei En turned his head to look at the city that never sleeps in the distance, and he temporarily remembered this tone.
Thinking of this, he held the shotgun in the air and fired a shot.
boom!
The huge gunshots echoed in the depths of the ground, causing some shock.
"I'm going to kill you, damn... huh?" The old jazz man was awakened by the voice and looked around, "I, what's wrong with me?" "It's nothing, you may have just encountered a disaster, your
spirit Contaminated."
"Is that so? I'm really... sorry, it didn't hurt you, right?" "
No." Wei En threw the shotgun into the mechanical door. "What are your plans next? Saiyam
put away the dagger, looking a little dazed, "As I just said, your Secret Adjustment Division has nothing to do with this matter." "
Who asked you this?"
Wei En looked at him. His eyes seemed to be looking at a retarded person, "Obviously they took the gods away and your son was killed by them. As for who they are, you must know very well." "
This..."
"Don't you understand yet? Your commission has been completed, please pay the commission fee. In addition, I was almost killed by you just now, so you have to pay me an additional amount of mental damage fee... and about the Vazquez family - hush money!"
Although The old knight wanted to kill him because he was affected by the power of desire, but it did cause him psychological damage.
What a lie... No, it's appropriate to ask for an extra gold pound, right?
Saiyam: "..."
He is an old man, and his two sons just died, and another son betrayed him... How can you bear it?
"Here you are, 200 gold pounds!"
"Thank you, Sir Syam."
Wei En took the stack of 5-gold-pound banknotes and counted them quickly, "You are welcome to come to the Secret Service Department to issue a commission next time." One hundred gold pounds was handed over to the Secret Service Department, and
he kept the remaining one hundred. Now - the effort and reward are directly proportional, which is great.
Now he finally knows why Lacey and Marco have so many gold pounds. With so much extra income, other people would be very rich.
Of course, the premise is that you can survive the mission...
"Who, do you know where this place is? Dare you do anything here?"
It was only then that the old Ross from the Nightless City rushed over, and he was familiar with everyone he saw. He waved his hand to signal the guards to put away their weapons, "Sir Seres?"
"It's me," Saiyam nodded, "I'm sorry Rose, there was an accident and I had to hide here." "
Then this one, oh , I remembered, it was with Master Nascimento last time..."
[You are scanned by Ross Dolisk's mental perception. Reward: Survival point +1. ]
[You are scanned by the spiritual perception of Mitra, the Lord of Desire (the Beloved). Reward: Survival Points +2. ]
[...]
Wei En nodded calmly, "Just call me Wei En." "Investigator Wei En, I hope I didn't scare you." "No
," Wei En shook his head, and then looked at Saiyam. Said: "Sir, since the commission has been completed, I will go back first." "
Well, thank you for your help. When this matter is over..."
"Goodbye."
Before he could finish speaking, Wei En turned around and left.
Better never to see you again!
He went to the Seres Manor twice and was attacked twice, each time more dangerous than the last... If he encounters a case related to the Seres family again, he will really become a fool!
Wayne nodded to Old Ross, then passed through the guards in black armor and walked towards the exit leading to the other side of the Natoli neighborhood.
Old Ross looked at his back and shouted: "By the way, Investigator Wayne, Investigator Marco will come to the Night City at noon. Do you want to go find him?" Wayne was stunned for a moment, "
Well, Marco is here. Here?"
Didn't he come out with a mission? Co-authoring means going out to play and fishing for work, right?
"Yes, I've been here for almost two hours, and I had a lot of fun. Do you want to go up?"
At this time, a shout came from the direction of Evernight City, "Wei En, Tina?"
Wei En looked at the voice, Speechless, he discovered that Marco was standing on the tower bridge in the middle of the castle with his upper body naked.
Damn, you’ve already played it?
Marco flew straight over here, "Why are you here too? Do you also want to have sex..." "
I'm not, don't talk nonsense, I don't."
Wayne pointed to the old Jazz on the other side, "Hey , I just completed the commission and was about to leave."
"Sir Saiyam?"
"Yes."
Saiyam just nodded to him and followed Old Ross and the others towards the Nightless City, his back looking very bleak.
"What happened? Why do you feel that he is not in a good mood?" Marco bumped Wei En with his bare shoulder and asked in a low voice.
"I won't be able to tell for a while. You, do you want to go back and change clothes first?" "
It's okay. It's just halftime. It's the same if we go back later."
Looking at his proud look, Wei En really wanted to go back to the 43rd yard. The shoe smacked him in the face.
I was out there fighting life and death, and almost died!
It's a good thing that you don't work hard, but you still go to the city that never sleeps to be free and unrestrained, right?
"Let's go, Tina, let's go back."
Boom!
A loud noise interrupted his words, followed by a huge light blade, which struck the castle and was blocked by its defensive rune formation.
"Wayne, are you here?"
Marco exclaimed, "Lacie? How did she find this place?!"
Wayne scratched his head, "I'm sorry, I just informed her to come here."
He had already forgotten I had pressed the siren before, but seeing Marco's appearance, I suddenly felt that such an accident was quite good.
Well, it seems that at least one person will die today...
"...Then I'll run away first, don't tell her I'm here."
"It's too late, she has already seen you."
I saw Lacey holding an ax in both hands from the side. He rushed over, followed by Carly who looked on guard.
Lacey glanced at the three of Wayne and jumped over, nervously looking at... Tina, and then breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was not injured.
"I'm relieved to see you guys are okay."
Carly ran over and asked nervously, "Wayne, Tina, are you injured? I can treat you." "No,"
Wei En shook his head and added: "Tina is fine too."
The white-haired girl clung to his leg, not noticing that her fingers were pinching the sensitive parts of the clown doll.
Sour, sour, laughing and joking, this can also be used as a punishment in the game!
"As for the mission, I'll tell you after I get back. I'm afraid it's not very convenient here." "
Well," Lacey noticed Marco's shirtless body and frowned, "Why are you here?"
" I, can I say that I am also here to rescue Wei En?" Marco said with his hands on his chest and his head shrinking.
"What do you think..."
"Damn it, who is it this time?"
Old Ross ran over again with the guards. He just breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw the huge light blade striking the castle, he felt bad and almost scared him out of his mind.
"How dare you... uh, yes, Ms. Lacey from the Montoya family?"
Lacey glared at Marco, then turned to look at the guards, "It's me, who are you?"
"This, that... "Old Ross was embarrassed for a while and looked at Marco for help.
But Marco was more embarrassed than him at this time, and he wanted to find a crack to get in right away - now he just wanted to be in the field, not here.
"Also, why is there a castle here?" Lacey continued to ask after seeing the two rows of girls in cool clothes standing under the castle from a distance.
Wayne, Marco, and Old Ross: "..."
Should they answer the question or run for their lives?
"So, this is the city that never sleeps before?"
After a long while, Lacey finally got the answer she wanted. She gritted her teeth and looked at Marco, "So, you didn't go to Idrisu neighborhood to finish the work, but ran to Here..."
Marco smiled coquettishly, "Actually, this, that, I want to come here..."
Before he finished speaking, he waved his lantern staff, and then cast a spell: "Prick Gram, Blue, Zach." (Easy Wind.)
Bang,
"Easy? You still dare to run? I'll let you run!"
Before he could run away, Lacey had already picked up a fist as big as a casserole and hammered him, While beating him, he also cursed: "I dared you to trick me into holding a cocktail party, and dared you not to work hard and sneak out to play, I..." "Hey, hey, I was wrong
, Lacey, I was really wrong. !!"
Old Ross looked at Marco, who had transformed from a handsome boy to an ugly man almost instantly, and said with a grin: "Investigator Wayne, there's nothing wrong, I'll go back first." I had heard of
this guy's reputation before . , I didn’t expect that the rumors were just rumors after all. Looking at it now-it’s even more scary.
"Yes."
Wei En nodded lightly and looked at Marco who was beaten... I asked you to come out to play without me, did you get beaten? Deserve it!
Of course, even if he is invited, he has to think about it.
Especially -
[You are peeked at by the origin of Mitra (the Beloved), the Lord of Desire. Reward: Survival Points +3. 】
Wei En glanced in the direction of Sleepless City calmly. Don't you hate being disturbed?
Now let's try the power of desire to erode again?
Hum, I only know how to bully the weak scum, and wait, sooner or later I will let you know how powerful I am!
"Wayne, do you want to tell Sister Lacey to stop? I, I feel like he is about to be beaten to death..." Carly didn't dare to look at Marco's miserable appearance all the time, she only dared to glance at him from time to time.
"It's okay, the captain is sensible." Wei En replied casually, "Let's go, I guess she will have to wait a while to finish. Let's go out and wait." "
Oh."
After saying that, Wei En took Tina's little hand. , walking out of the passage with Carly, who looked back from time to time.
"Ah - don't fight, I was wrong -"
The screams echoed throughout the cave, and the regular guests in the city that never slept were so frightened that they all put on their clothes and slipped away from the other side.
On the top of the Evernight City, Mitra looked at them lazily, her watery eyes staring at Wei En's back, not even noticing that the thin rope on her body fell off.
This guy's origin has improved quite quickly. Remember he had two sub-bodies last time, right?
It’s interesting...
Around three o’clock in the afternoon, several people returned to the Secret Investigation Department, well, except for Marco who had to rush to Idrisu Street to close the case
. "Lacey, Carly, thank you for coming to rescue me. Your mission over there is not affected, right?"
"No, the case in Basil Block was obviously the work of a freak."
Lacey leaned on the high-backed chair carelessly, clasping his hands, highlighting the dials of the two hanging clocks, "Tell me, Serey What happened to the Manor?"
Carly asked equally curiously: "Yes, didn't you go to the Natoli neighborhood? How did you appear in that, that city that never sleeps?" "There was an
accident in the middle, Captain, are you still there? Do you remember Butler Collins last time?"
"Remember, that old guy was very generous last time, what happened to him?"
"He was the one who colluded with Genrich Seres..."
General Wei En was in the Serres family. Tell the story again, especially when he and the old knight were chased by Collins and Erno, and had no choice but to escape to the city that never sleeps.
"...Finally, after the two people left, the old knight entered the Nightless City."
Lacey pondered: "So, Collins and the group of people who attacked the manor are all members of the Vazquez family?" "
Probably. Yes, but Sir Saiyam did not admit this. I think there are many things hidden in it. And the statue is probably not as ordinary as they say." "
Then this matter will end here for now. Well, when you finish writing the report, I will submit it to Yegor and see what the people above say." "
Okay."
Wayne nodded lightly and had no objection to Lacey's arrangement.
When things develop to this point, it is obviously beyond the scope of the Secret Adjustment Department's responsibilities.
Especially when it involves nobles, according to city-state laws, such cases must be handed over to the noble committee for handling.
After the case was finished, Wayne counted out a 100 gold pound note and put it on the table, "This is the commission fee given by the old knight. I brought it with me." "Well," Lacey accepted the
gold pound and added it to the table. Divide out 50 gold pounds, "This belongs to you and Tina."
"Thank you, thank you."
On the way back, Wei En had already secretly given Tina a portion of the extra gold pound given by Saiyam.
Now counting the income of these 25 gold pounds, the gold pounds he has on hand once again exceeds 100 gold pounds, which should be able to buy some good magic knowledge.
Then he took out the translated epoch relic and put it on the table, "I've also finished this one." "
It's pretty fast, leave it to me, and I'll send it to Yegor later. "
Then it was almost time to get off work, and everyone was busy working on their own.
Lacey was teaching Carly the process of writing a case file. The two were so close that the hands of the clock almost touched each other.
As soon as Tina returned to the office, she took out the box of cookies and continued feeding the clown doll.
It's just that this time the clown doll didn't put up any resistance. From time to time it would open its mouth and swallow a piece of biscuit, not knowing whether the food it ate would produce anything... As
for Wayne, it only took twenty minutes to kill Sere. The commission formation report of Si Manor was handed over to Lesina, and he continued to delve into the design drawings of the mechanical puppet.
Even with that knowledge of runes, it would not be easy for him to make improvements based on the original drawings of [Ironheart Fury].
First of all, the overall appearance of the puppet must be changed. The previously thick limbs must become slender due to the simplification of the strong heart and furious burst patterns.
At the same time, the torso of the mechanical puppet was enlarged, especially the location of the cornerstone runes, from the original more than ten parts to 45.
It’s almost as big as the sum of all the previous parts.
On the contrary, Wei En felt that such a change was very reasonable...
But thinking about it, he actually didn't have much confidence in the new design drawing. He could only change one drawing first and try to complete the production and assembly of the parts.
After all, every drawing of a mechanical puppet was the result of countless years of research by predecessors, and it was the limit that he could make some changes to it.
When he actually got started, Wei En discovered that he still had a lot to learn. In addition to runes, mechanical puppets also included materials science, mechanical weapons, kinematics, etc.
Even Wizard Jerry, who claims to be a genius, only started researching and designing his own mechanical puppet after he was promoted to an official wizard.
Therefore, Wei En had to set his goals lower, hoping to see what the final effect would be, and then make targeted adjustments and optimizations.
Dang, Dang Dang Dang.
"It's four o'clock," Lacey looked at the time on the wall and gritted his teeth: "That bastard really didn't come back. Let's see how I deal with him tomorrow."
Wayne observed a few seconds of silence for Marco and then packed up his things. Tina, I'm going home from work. You should go back with the captain."
The white-haired girl paused and said coldly: "Tina, I know."
"See you tomorrow."
Wei En touched her hair , then looked at Carly behind, "Uncle Euan said he was out for two days and entrusted you to my care..." "
Ah?" Carly obviously didn't know about this yet, and said in surprise: "He's out. Where did you go?"
"I said I went to the city-state of Andrea to pick up a batch of materials. I should be back tomorrow." "
That's it. Then I'll go back with you." Carly quickly picked up the speed and cleared the table. s things.
"Yeah."
After Carly packed up, Wayne said goodbye to Lacey and took her out of the office.
The white-haired girl turned her head half a circle, stared blankly in the direction of the door, and murmured: "Tina, see you tomorrow..."
Hehehehahahaha... we won't see you again tomorrow, isn't that good?
"Tina, it's not good."
"Huh?" Lacey noticed her talking to herself, "What's wrong, Tina? Are you okay?"
"Tina, it's okay."
"As long as it's okay, let's go. I'll make you your favorite animal blood tofu today." "
Tina eats it, but clown doesn't."
Clown doll: I only deserve to eat biscuits, right? I do not want! I want to eat blood too! !
