Wizard: Gou adds a little bit of hunting in the era of steam

Chapter 464 Wayne, the Legendary Wizard!
The name of the wizard Lister was little known in the Forbidden Era.

However, before the Fourth Era, neither the Source Souls and Chaos outside the Garment of the World, nor the gods on the Primordial Continent could ignore his existence.

Especially during the Third Age, when the wizard Lister had just founded the Ghost School in the Northern Continent, its origins, magic, and military achievements were at their peak, and it drove away the neighboring cults of gods, evil gods, and source souls one by one.

It cannot be described as anything but domineering.

So much so that when the wizard Lister disappeared, the successor head of the Ghost School continued his personality, being loose internally and domineering externally, making other wizarding schools unable to hold their heads high.

The one who embodies the domineering style of Lister wizards to the fullest is the current headmaster of the school, Václav Samuel Capo. He inherited his family's extraordinary bloodline and the ability to manipulate time. Combined with the school's inherited secret magic system, he is invincible in his conquests.

But at this moment, in Wayne's eyes, Varklav, Ragnar, and the chief wizard of Velosa were all disrespectful to their elders.

Even though these old guys had visited Loft Manor and met with Wizard Lister after the "Deep Sea Apocalypse," they actually kept it a secret and didn't reveal a single word.

Especially when Dean Varklav—Wayne was specially summoned to the headquarters of the Ghost School in the North Continent—the old dean still kept quiet.

Wern could imagine that at this very moment, Vaklav was probably hiding in some research institute, laughing heartily.

Lister, who was standing to the side, seemed to have guessed his thoughts and snapped his fingers with a smile.

Then there was a knock on the door, and the butler who had brought Wei En in earlier walked in with a happy expression. He was carrying two bottles of red wine and wine glasses, and he came to the two of them to carefully decan and pour the wine.

"Young Master Wei En, this is a fine wine from the Saint George Manor in the Eastern Continent. It has been aged for a hundred years. Please enjoy it."

Wei En glanced at him and thanked him.

He then looked at Lister, and seeing that the renowned wizard Lister, who now appeared like an ordinary person, was simply smiling gently, he picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and calmly said:

"taste not good."

"..."

The butler's smile remained unchanged as he quickly said, "Master, young master, please wait a moment. I'll go get two more bottles, even better ones. Master also has a bottle of fine wine that has survived from the Second Era. I'll go right away..."

“Raul, you rascal, there’s only one bottle of that wine left.” Lister’s smile vanished instantly.

The butler, named Raul, did not answer, but turned and walked away with light steps, obviously to get more wine.

Click.

The door is closed.

Wei En put down his wine glass, glanced at the portraits staring at them expectantly, and said:

“Wizard Lister, can you enlighten me? It seems that many things here are different from what I previously knew.”

“Tell me, what’s different?” Lister stopped his nagging to the old butler and raised an eyebrow to ask:

"Is it the eager butler, the old guys hanging on the wall, your talent for deception, or that panel that can quickly boost your power?"

Wei En's expression changed slightly. He looked directly into Wei En's eyes and asked in a deep voice, "You know everything?"

“Of course,” Lister said, his expression relaxing as he leaned back in his high-backed chair and shifted into a comfortable position.

“I told you, you’re progressing faster than I expected.”

"Originally, according to my calculations, you should have reached your current level of strength in two hundred years. Neither I nor they expected you to be so capable."

Two hundred years? Them?

Wayne grew increasingly puzzled, but he didn't rush to ask. Instead, he adopted an attentive expression, glancing occasionally at the portraits that seemed excited but hesitant to speak.

Indeed, no matter when or where, no one can defy a figure like the wizard Lister.

“I should start from the beginning,” the wizard Lister chuckled, two clear nasolabial folds appearing on his slightly thin face as he toyed with his cane.

"In fact, it was I who summoned you here."

Wei En was stunned for a moment. "You, summon?"

He quickly realized what was happening, his eyes widening suddenly: "You, you...you mean, my...time travel?"

The wizard Lister looked at him with a smile: "What? Do you find it hard to believe?"

"Yes, but..."

Wayne was speechless for a moment; it wasn't as simple as it seemed.

Instead, he never believed that time travel could be man-made; he only thought that his soul came here for some reason after his death.

For some reason... it's not impossible that he was summoned by someone.

Don't be so surprised.

"You've been in this world for so long, witnessing so many bizarre and wonderful things: wizards, extraordinary beings, source souls, and countless eras of change, and..."

Lister pointed to the sky outside the window and said with a smile, "And there's the vast world beyond that Garment of the World."

"Compared to all this, is it more difficult to understand why I summoned your soul from another world to this place?"

Upon hearing this, Wayne took a deep breath, his eyes regaining some calm, and reason and composure returned to him.

Lister raised an eyebrow slightly and clapped his hands, saying, "This is the kind of performance a wizard who is about to step into the legendary realm should have."

Wei En glanced at him, lowered his head slightly, and did not speak immediately.

He suddenly remembered the discoveries and doubts that had been lingering in his mind all along.

The origin of the power on the panel.

His talent for deception.

Spell mutation.

And the dreams involving his sister Estelle Loft.

All these strange occurrences were answered at this moment.

If everything about him was arranged and designed from the beginning, then everything can be explained.

—His power was infused into him by the wizard Lister with some kind of great power.

—His talent was bestowed upon him by the wizard Lister.

Everything about him, including his body and magic, was created by the wizard Lister.

Except his soul.

Or perhaps, his soul?

Seemingly noticing his confusion and the change in his expression, Wizard Lister beckoned, and a wine bottle flew up and poured wine for the two of them.

He pushed a glass towards Wayne, then picked up his own glass, took a sip, and said with a gentle smile:

"Just assume these things are hard to understand."

"You can take your time to think about it, recall it, and try to accept it."

"Fortunately, we have plenty of time today, and I can help you answer any questions you may have."

Hearing his words, Wei En snapped out of his daze, his bright red eyes fixed on him:
"why me?"

"destiny."

The wizard Lister answered without hesitation: "Everything is guided and chosen by fate."

"After I realized the source soul's scheme, I started thinking about how to resolve the crisis in this world and try to find a way to prevent it from collapsing like the wizarding world."

Unfortunately, the answer was not good.

"Not only me, but Lady Silvermoon Lilith also couldn't find a good answer."

"It's as if it were destined that this world would perish because it was targeted by the Source Soul and those strange and bizarre things."

At this point, the wizard Lister paused, giving Wayne a moment to think, before continuing:
"It was at that time that the Source Souls discovered the five sealed locations that concealed this world."

“A large number of source souls and those disgusting and terrifying creatures began to attack this place, attempting to pollute this pure land.”

"Left with no other choice, Lady Silvermoon chose to sacrifice herself."

Wayne listened quietly as he recounted that past, but he was still somewhat surprised when he heard about Lady Silvermoon's sacrifice.

He picked up his wine glass, took a sip, calmed himself, and asked:

"Lady Silvermoon is the same as the original Gonzales?" Wizard Lister wasn't surprised he knew about Gonzales, and smiled, shaking his head as he said:
“Gonzares did it for creation; he sacrificed himself to fill this world with a source of wizarding power.”

“But Lilith is different.”

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.

The environment around them changed instantly, just like in a theater, just like Arnold the Joker.

The surroundings transformed into a panoramic view of the world, revealing the Coster Coast, the four continents, the Garment of the World, and a silver moon.

After looking around, Wayne's gaze returned to the wizard Lister, waiting for him to continue his story.

The wizard Lister paused, his cane transforming into a foot in length, and pointed at the silver moon, saying:

"When the Source Soul attacks, the first barrier is the World Garment. It can withstand the erosion and pollution of most extraterrestrial creatures, and at the same time, it can hide itself with several seals to avoid most powerful monsters."

"But when those source souls find Him, His resistance becomes much weaker, allowing those source souls and strange entities to find loopholes and erode Him."

“In fact, we people occasionally go over to help the ‘Clothes of the World’ resist attacks, or use our essence to fill the gaps.”

As the wizard Lister recalled that past event, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face as he said:

"You might not imagine, but there, gods, wizards, and extraordinary humans all work together."

Wayne nodded noncommittally. "It should be possible."

Just like the island of Alexei that he controlled, it was inhabited by followers of the Church of Desire, saints of the Church of the True God, and some dark and cunning superhumans.

Everyone is living a good life.

The wizard Lister gave him an approving look and then said, "Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long."

"During the Third Age, those monsters tore a wound in the 'Clothes of the World,' a very long wound that could not be healed by the source alone."

He used two very long... which is enough to prove how dangerous it was at the time.

"Then they broke in."

"That day, Lilith, Orpheus, and I fought for a long time before we finally drove them away."

"But we all know their retreat is only temporary, and then..."

As the wizard Lister recalled that day, a look of reminiscence crossed his face as he said:
"Then, with the silver moon high in the sky, Lilith, as the Lady of the Silver Moon and the highest deity in that 'Garment of the World,' offered a solution that none of us could refuse."

"—She sacrificed herself, draining all her power, to seal the Silver Moon in that rift!"

Wei En paused for a moment, then looked up at the sky: "You mean, the Red Moon is actually a seal?"

This shocked him even more than when he was summoned from another world.

The most incomprehensible thing is that he always believed that the Red Moon was a calamity, an omen of misfortune, and the culprit that made this world so strange.

But now the wizard Lister is telling him that things are not as he understands them.

The Red Moon is good; it acts as a barrier to help the "Clothes of the World" resist strange monsters from the outside world.

It's like a dream.

Seeing his reaction, the wizard Lister smiled and asked, "Is it hard to understand?"

Then he replied, "Of course, of course, it may indeed be difficult to understand."

"After all, when Lilith sealed that rift, she exhausted her own power and could only block most of the pollution, not completely block the power of chaos and distortion."

"In fact, it's not just you; I think the vast majority of people in this world believe that the Red Moon is the source of calamity."

"Apart from a few of us old guys, as well as Lilith's fanatics and the leader of the Red Moon Church, everyone probably thinks so."

"But reality is so dreamlike. Lilith chose to sacrifice herself, using all the kingdoms and power she controlled as the price to transform the Silver Moon into a sealing artifact, thereby protecting this world."

The wizard Lister's tone was slightly excited, and he waved his hands, appearing somewhat thrilled:

"Look, isn't she great?"

"But I want to tell you that there are many people who are just as great as him."

“Gonzares, Oranelle, Juanita… and you too, we are both thieves who steal power and poor wretches on whom fate has placed its hopes.”

Wei En listened to his impassioned words, but remained somewhat silent.

He looked at the silver moon in the illusion around him and calmly asked, "Am I one of them?"

"Of course, you certainly are."

The wizard Lister said with a smile, "Because of your arrival, I and these old fellows have seen hope in preserving this world."

"Originally, I was just trying it out, but later I discovered that your soul is very special. It can almost contain endless power. The power of the origin, the mutation, and even the power of the extraordinary bloodline can coexist well in you."

"That's why we have high hopes for you. Really, you have to believe that you weren't created by us."

"Instead, we are redeemed by you—it is because of your arrival that this world can endure."

Wayne pursed his lips and gave a wry smile: "Wizard Lister, you are very suitable to be an orator."

"Orator? Is that a word from your world? Interesting, I like it."

Liszt, with great interest, made a digression and then continued:
"Then we started trying it."

"For example, the origin of your power is the ability in those sealed places, or the source soul power that was sealed in before."

“For example, your talent is the magic eye of the Loft family, which I personally transplanted for you.”

"In the end, you survived, and your soul came back to life."

"That's great news, isn't it?"

Wei En pursed his lips slightly, but he had figured everything out.

These wizarding leaders, who had traveled from the Second Era across countless worlds, chose him as their savior.

Haha, I have to say, this feeling is fucking amazing.

“I hope you are right, Wizard Lister.”

"necessary……"

……

After a detailed discussion with the wizard Lister.

After Wayne figured everything out, he then advanced to the rank of Legendary Wizard with the help of Wizard Lister.

While fulfilling the contract with Carmendia, he successfully retrieved what Selenient needed from that spatial fragment.

that day.

The whole world was cheering for him, as if they had been waiting for him for countless years.

Countless people cheered:
"Wein, a legend!"

"Wein, a legend!"

The news was published in newspapers on all four continents, including the Gazette of the Kingdom of Charland, the Gazette of the City of Castor, and the Gazette of the Sea of ​​Cordoba.

The photo above is no longer of the Soul Eater wizard, but a handsome picture of Wayne Loft.

At least Freya, Tina, and others who saw it thought it was cool.

The only one who felt uncomfortable was the Joker, Arnold—his mother was indeed Lilith.

But since Lady Night and Lady Silver Moon Lilith herself have already sacrificed and fallen, turning into the Red Moon, Wayne naturally has no way to find him a mother.

There will probably be a wedding afterwards.

In Wayne’s somewhat somber words, “According to the traditions of my hometown, if you want to get rich, have more children and plant more trees.”

"Therefore, one can only have one wife, but can have many confidantes."

Then Freya, Mitra, Tina, and even Eve Hendrix, the saintess of the Church of Storms, and Carly and Pavla of the Church of Dawn joined the battle for the position of wife.

The ultimate winner...
