Chapter 275 Promotion!
Wei En stared at the content on the letter and couldn't help but return to the city-state that brought him happiness and pain.
The initial hesitation and struggle, the peace of mind after arriving at the Secret Adjustment Department, and then everything that happened next.
He knew he had done something wrong, but if he had to choose again...
He will still do that!
Why……
A slight sigh echoed in the claustrophobic office.
Several neatly trimmed quills were swaying in the sea breeze blowing in through the open windows.
Wayne reached out and took out one of the quills, dipped it in ink, and wrote on the yellowed paper -
"Minister Lacey..."
After a while, he finished writing the signature spelled out in Aldescan.
After thinking about it, he added Xiao Baimao's name.
This is just a simple letter of greetings from friends, including Tina of course.
If it hadn't been for Xiao Baimao taking the initiative to sign a partnership contract with him after joining the Secret Adjustment Department...
contract?
Wei En's heart skipped a beat.
It seemed that he had never thought about why Tina signed a contract with him when they first met.
And he decisively severed the contractual relationship with Marco...
Wei En recalled the scene at that time——
Tina likes you, can she be your friend?
sure.
Tina is happy, happy...
After that, he only knew what Lacey and Marco said: If she didn't sign that contract, Tina's body would become very fragile.
If she doesn't have a contractor for a long time, she will even undergo horrific deformations...
But it seems that - he has never thought about the reason why Tina chose to sign a contract with him!
"The reason is that I like..."
If he had just come to this world, Wei En might have thought it was a simple "like".
However, when he looks back and thinks carefully, he will find that there may be a deeper secret.
Tina Klosterman is the vessel of Ms. Calamity Tina Lilith Leonard.
According to the demon clown Arnold, Little White Hair is one of the candidates designated by his sister.
The proof is the mark on her forehead, and of course both himself and Ales Coulibaly.
If you start from this perspective...
Wei En wondered, does he have some potential to attract the source of disaster?
"Tsk!"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there might be things in many details in the past that he was not aware of.
Now, in addition to the cheating talent, panel, meditation method and the weird thing in the original world, he found a fifth suspicious place.
Really...
With a cold face, Wei En stood up and stood at the window, his eyes falling on the night sky.
The candlelight lit by the dawn candles on the wall suddenly went out.
The light of the red moon quietly projected in and shone on him.
[You are illuminated by the red moon. Because your original power exceeds 100, you are exempt from the red moon pollution. Special rewards: +50 survival points, -1 origin (temporary), +1 spiritual level. 】
【……】
[You are illuminated by the red moon. Because your original power exceeds 800, you are exempt from the red moon pollution. evaluate:? ? ? Special rewards: +50 survival points, -10 origin (temporary). 】
The elongated shadow is projected on the wall of the office, and it seems that seventeen heads can be seen in the shadow...
The next second, Wei En's figure disappeared.
But if someone looks into the office from the window, he can still see "Honatan".
It's just that his face is gone from thoughts, worries and fears...
Returning to the theater space, Wayne looked at the silent theater.
Tina and the others had returned to their respective rooms, leaving only two pieces of cheese and grilled fish on the dining table.
He walked over, pulled out a chair, sat down, and ate slowly.
"Hehehehaha..."
At this time, the clown, whom he had not seen for a few days, appeared and sat next to him with a smile. He picked up the grilled fish on the plate and looked at it with a look of disgust.
"If the head chef at home grilled the fish like this, I don't think he would survive the next day."
Wayne didn't look up and said calmly: "It's a pity that you are no longer the second prince of the Leonard family who founded the Turing Empire."
"You know?" The clown had a funny and weird expression on his face, looking up and down at Wayne, rubbing his chin with his white-gloved palm:
"You seem a little different...Did something happen in the past two days?"
"What did you think when you first met her?"
"You want to know?" The clown did not answer, but asked with interest: "Then tell me first, did something unexplainable happen to you?"
Wayne looked at him calmly, lowered his head and continued eating his dinner, as if he didn't really want to get the answer.
"Okay, okay... not long after I was brought to Custer, I lost control."
"When I regained consciousness, I saw the little girl."
"She looked at me, I looked at her, and I turned into a doll."
"So you weren't a doll before?" Wei En asked.
"Of course not," the clown spread his hands and wrinkled his big red nose: "That's when you put it on me!"
Put it on...
A clown mask?
So at that time, Tina only changed the clown's form, but did not change his cognition.
Or maybe Xiaobai Mao just turned the demon clown into what she wanted to see...
"what do you want to say in the end?"
"It's nothing, it's just that it's time for me to advance."
Wei En finished a few bites and wiped his mouth, "Don't disturb me tonight, okay?"
Thinking of this, it's not that he doubts Tina.
But he was worried that there were other secrets hidden in Xiao Baimao.
For example, the way Alex made her lose control last time, and whether the other party will make the same arrangement on Alexei Island this time...
But it seems a pity that the clown doesn't know what is hidden in Tina.
"Promoted to the Great Wizard? It will be very soon..."
The clown curled his lips. This speed was almost catching up with his original speed.
Oh, not himself, but his good brother, Byrne Lilith Leonard, who was considered the Son of the Sun.
A smile appeared on Wei En's face, which was inexplicable, but yet familiar and clean.
"See you tomorrow, Mr. Arnold."
"Go away...hehehehehehe..."
The clown turned around and turned into a doll again, swaying his body like a dance and returning to the rest area.
Looking at his back, Wayne's smile faded a bit and he walked towards the studio.
After looking at the attributes and remaining survival points on the panel, I didn't hesitate anymore——
[You have met the conditions for promotion to the Grand Wizard. Do you want to advance? 】
【yes! 】
Following the confirmation, Wei En's body was shaken.
A powerful source of power burst out from the source core world behind the panel.
To be precise, the panel directly extracted the original power inside!
At the same time, he could also feel the strange behavior of the original sub-bodies such as ghosts, which began to expand as if they were injected with original power.
The brand marks of spell runes on their foreheads rotated rapidly and gradually emitted light.
No, that's not right...
Instead of gradually flickering, his eyes grew heavier.
Faintly, the weird murmuring sound reappeared.
"Apu, Ruixi..."
I remember that the last time was because of the aberration power, as well as the upgraded meditation method and various spells. This time...
…
…
I don’t know how long it took.
"Brother Wei En, Wei En..."
In a daze, Wei En heard a girl's voice.
He opened his eyes and looked. In the same room, there are two wall lamps on the left and right.
Wei En looked at the source of the sound, sister?
He saw the girl named Estelle Loft who he met last time when he was promoted to an official wizard, looking at him with a worried look on his face.
"you……"
Just as he opened his mouth, Wei En suddenly stopped and looked confused.
Why is his voice hoarse and tired?
"What's wrong with me?"
"Don't you remember?" The girl named Estelle had tears in her eyes, "You tried to escape, but you were beaten by your father, beaten..."
escape?
beat?
Wei En was about to get up, but there was a sharp pain all over his body.
He endured the severe pain, gritted his teeth and sat up, looking at himself.
Layers of white gauze with blood in it wrapped around his body, and there were bruises and bruises on his arms, which were red, swollen and stained with blood.
The legs were also wrapped with gauze, but where... was it broken?
There was a flash of doubt in Wayne's eyes. Did this really happen, or was it just a dream?
"Why should I run away?"
Estil pursed her lips and said with a faint cry: "You want to take the wizard talent test, but your father and mother don't agree, so..."
wizard……
"What time is it now? Date?"
"June 11th, 1577 in the New Calendar!" The girl was stunned for a moment and wiped the corners of her eyes. "Brother, my father has been too harsh. Do you want me to ask my mother..."
"No."
Wei En leaned hard on the soft pillow and looked at the girl in front of him.
There were some differences from last time's dress and makeup, but it was just a change of clothes that were obviously aristocratic.
Wearing a white and red plaid skirt, her hair was tied into several braids on the back of her head, with slightly curly bangs on her forehead.
Her face is not pretty, perhaps because it has not grown long, but it looks very delicate and small.
The eyes are big, with the same red pupils as his.
The lips are slightly thick and covered with a layer of bright red lip gloss.
Just like those ladies from aristocratic families, the etiquette she received since childhood gave her an aristocratic temperament.
"You, what happened to me?"
"No, did my father do it himself?"
"Well," Estelle nodded hesitantly, "This time he was really angry with you. Not only did he beat you, but he also implicated his mother..."
"Mother? She was beaten too?"
"No, no, it was just that her father dissolved her after he got angry with her."
Dissolve?
Wei En's pupils shrank slightly, was that what he understood?
"she……"
"She is fine, mother is fine," Estelle wiped her eyes again and said worriedly: "But father will not let her change to another body, saying that he wants to punish her for indulging in you..."
Another strange sentence...
Wayne thought.
It seems that the family where the predecessor belonged to has many secrets.
A father with a bad temper, a mother who should be gentle but weird and can change her body, and in front of her...
Wayne thought for a few seconds and recalled the last scene.
I remember that at that time, the girl told him that her predecessor failed to awaken the family bloodline and was punished by her father.
And this time...
"What are the characteristics of the family's extraordinary bloodline?"
"You, don't you even remember this? Brother."
"My father was too harsh this time, can you tell me?"
Estelle was even more worried and said without hesitation: "It's a gift from the God of Deception."
Fraud?
Wayne was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"
"It's the Eye of Deception, you..." Estil looked a little angry and hummed: "So my brother remembers it."
"Tell me in detail!"
Wei En's face looked a little ugly, and he asked seriously: "What is the gift from the God of Deception that you just mentioned?"
"He is the God of Deception, but my father usually claims that these are the tricks of 'weak and pitiful magicians'."
Estelle seemed to be frightened by his tone, and said timidly: "I also think he is right, it has no effect at all."
"Last time I tried to trick Miss Erza into giving me a cake, but she didn't even give it to me..."
"Is that so?" Wei En's eyes sparkled slightly.
It turns out that the origin of the talent for deception is the extraordinary bloodline of his predecessor's family, or the so-called "gift from the God of Deception."
However, there is nothing related to it in the memory of the predecessor.
And there is also the prompt message given on the panel when the deception talent was awakened before - the unknown source of power is eroding, and your talent ability is distorted.
Unknown origin, deceitful eyes...
Perhaps, this is the reason why he awakened his talent for deception.
It seemed that in order to figure out all this, he had to return to the Loft family.
However, let me ask some questions here first.
"Then since I can't awaken my family's bloodline, why doesn't my father allow me to become a wizard?"
Estil hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know why. I just heard him say something about foreign bastards after punishing you."
"I don't understand either..."
Foreign offal?
Are you referring to the wizards?
Was it because his predecessor was applying for a school of ghosts that did not belong to the Eastern Continent, so he was scolded?
Or does it refer to all wizards in general?
If it's the former, it's just an extraordinary nobleman's disapproval of the wizards.
But if it's the latter, then...
Wayne frowned and heard Estelle say:
"Brother, I actually know what you are thinking, and you will still run away."
"Can you please don't forget me?"
"you……"
Just as Wei En was about to continue asking, he saw the surrounding space shaking violently.
And the girl seemed to be aware of this, and shouted anxiously: "Brother Wei En, if you leave the family, don't forget me!"
"Be sure to remember!"
Those five words, like a password, caused this dream world to collapse.
Wei En looked at everything happening around him, his bright eyes showing a somewhat cunning smile.
It was as if this had been expected.
The next second, he passed out again...
[Congratulations, you have successfully been promoted to Grand Wizard. Evaluation: Finally, he is no longer a weak chicken and looks decent. Special rewards: survival points +1000, origin +50, spiritual level +800, toughness level +400. 】
[Due to the level increase, the meditation speed of your Ghost Meditation Method is doubled again. You get...]

PS: It’s a bit hard to write today, so that’s all for now.
However, it can be considered that a hole buried before has been filled, and the follow-up will be smoother.
