The bishop is unfathomable.

Chapter 79 Unexpected Surprise

Li Wei found Vera downstairs, who was already engrossed in her paperwork, without much trouble.

Vera was somewhat surprised to see Levi awake: "Oh, Mr. Levi, you're awake?"

"After you fell into a coma yesterday, I immediately called Professor Albert to contact you."

"Although the professor was a little annoyed at being woken up in the middle of the night, after I told him about your situation, he still told me how to take care of you."

"The professor guessed you wouldn't wake up until at least tonight, but I didn't expect you to be fine in just a few hours."

"Teacher?" Li Wei pressed, "What did he say?"

"After the professor heard that you were kicked out of the ritual by the wandering ghost, he said that you must have deduced some information from the clues that you shouldn't know, or at least shouldn't know in the advancement ritual."

He explained for a long time, but I didn't understand much of it.

"The ceremony had just ended, and I was feeling dizzy—I couldn't remember much information. You should ask him yourself."

After hearing Vera's answer, Li Wei felt reassured.

The fact that the old man was still in the mood to explain the reason shows that his condition was not serious.

It's not just him bragging, but if he really had a serious problem, Albert would definitely have come straight to the Bureau of Oversight.

In other words, this might just be a side effect of being kicked out of the ceremony and the early settlement; a rest should be enough.

"Then I won't disturb your work any longer, Miss Vera." Levi laughed. "I have to go to work too."

After saying that, Li Wei walked out of the Supervision Bureau.

After the promotion, I finally had a new number of uses for my Soul Shadow spell.

He can now create new familiars.

Moreover, unlike the Falcon, which was too weak to even crush an apple because it didn't get promoted at the beginning.

It was only after he advanced to the first energy level that Falcon's strength experienced an explosive increase.

Now that the amplification has reached the second energy level, the strength of the collection still needs to be tested.

Furthermore, the second level of energy gathering also includes an additional spell.

Based on Falcon's pattern, his newly created familiar should also have two spells available.

So, by that logic, I've gained three new spells out of thin air.

With the addition of the Soul Pact link, I also gained a survival skill and a position-swapping skill.

Their combat power has greatly increased.

I wonder what kind of familiar will split off this time.

Shadow of the Soul — According to the spell's description, a familiar is considered a facet of one's soul, a manifestation of one's personality and the underlying nature of one's soul.

It represents the true self deep within Li Wei's soul, a self that he himself may not have been aware of.

As soon as he stepped out of the Inspectorate, he saw Wag and Barney waiting by the carriage, as well as Felicia squatting on the carriage steps.

"Sir, it's so good to see you're alright."

Wag breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Levi was alright. He had received a message from Vera that morning, which was why he brought Barney over.

The female inspector didn't say what had happened to Levi, only that he had fainted, which scared Wag and Barney so much that they immediately called Mavi and rushed over in a carriage.

Then they were stopped by the cat in front of them.

This black cat, which claimed to be the bishop's beloved pet and could talk and cast spells, immediately reminded Varg and Barney of the cat in the bishop's house.

Just as the cat had said, Li Wei soon got out of the supervisory bureau.

"You guys are here too? And Mavi too." Levi was taken aback when he saw Wag and Barney come to pick him up, before saying, "Take me to the library first, we'll talk in the car."

After entering the carriage, Li Wei looked at Barney and Wag, who were both concerned and very nervous. After glancing down at the cat, he said softly, "My feigned death to escape before wasn't without its price."

"My soul has taken over this body, which means my strength is no longer what it used to be. I can only raise my energy level again."

"There was just a slight mishap during the promotion ceremony yesterday, nothing serious, so don't worry."

As soon as she finished speaking, a faint dark golden glint flashed in Felicia's cat eyes.

A minor spell to detect hostility was activated silently, locking onto the two people in front of Li Wei.

The result—naturally—was no reaction.

Rather, Levi's confession at this moment brought a great sense of relief to Barney and Wag.

They had long suspected that something was amiss with their bishop.

The most obvious differences are their strength, the spells they are good at using, and their fighting style.

They didn't ask any questions, simply out of respect, and because Li Wei's attitude towards them hadn't changed, and even seemed more friendly.

Not all Tantric practitioners are madmen. At least among the followers of the Faceless Ones, there may be ruthless killers, but there are no absolute madmen.

They wouldn't doubt it just because the bishop wasn't as eccentric as before.

On the contrary, I am relieved that the bishop has finally been freed from the side effects of the transformation spell.

As soon as Li Wei finished speaking, Barney changed the subject: "Your Excellency, we've done some things these past few days that we didn't report to you before, partly to give you a surprise."

"The Brownstone Gang was cut off by the city council under pressure, lost its protective umbrella, and its power was also severely weakened by the Bureau of Oversight."

"Wagh, Gauss, the assassin we recruited earlier, and I together took over some of the remnants of the Brownstone Gang and their territory."

"Now, they are all forces you can command. If there's anything you need us to do in the future, just give the order."

Barney's words surprised Levi: "Really? You've accomplished this in just a few days?"

"It's mainly that assassin," Wag laughed. "There's something called convert fanaticism."

"It could also be that he's simply afraid of dying."

"After all, he can't undo the methods I left on him."

"In short, thanks to his previous high position in the gang, and the fact that all the higher-ups were killed on the spot by the Bureau of Investigation and Supervision."

"He, a mid-level manager, has become the sole person in charge of the Brownstone Gang."

"Just as the Brownstone Gang's influence was shrinking, other gangs began to take advantage of the situation."

"Barney and I saved a group of remnants, and with Gauss's presence, we were able to resolve the situation so quickly."

Li Wei smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. By the way, how are you finding the things I gave you before?"

Barney nodded first, then said, "It works very well. Although it's just a simple attack spell, its power is amazing. Most importantly, enemies often don't pay attention to defending against ranged attacks because they see me as a melee opponent."

"Therefore, this move is very useful for surprise attacks."

"You just need to find another container to store it and carry it with you at all times."

As he spoke, Barney raised his wrist, on which was a square brass bracer.

"I made a simple wristband myself using the materials I had on hand. I placed the silver plate on the inside of the wristband, where it contacts my wrist skin."

"In this way, it won't affect carrying or hinder the transmission of psionic energy. Most people will just think it's protective gear and won't be wary of it."

Li Wei nodded: "Good suggestion. How about making it into a wristband or a close-fitting accessory? — Great idea."
