Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 13 is so damn white...

"Apu, chaos."

"Runo, despair."

"Racey... dead?"

When Wei En saw this, he couldn't help but look up. So that's what those few syllables that the two "little rascals" kept repeating meant.

"Os, darkness?"

Well, there isn't a single word that's even remotely related to positive energy.

This is so ghostly!

Wayne shook his head and continued flipping through "Gonzare (Beginner)".

Compared to Alders, which has only seventy-two characters, Gonzales has significantly more, with a total of 4832 characters currently known.

The beginner's guide issued by Ghost only has 322 characters, which only includes the most commonly used terms.

Although it didn't look like much, it took Wayne a full three hours to memorize and read the parchment once.

At the same time, he also discovered another benefit of the improved mental level—that is, a strong memory.

He memorized the contents of the parchment after reciting it only once.

"It's not difficult at all, it's quite simple."

Wei En put down the parchment and let out a long sigh. "If I had this ability in my past life, I wouldn't have ended up being a terrible student... even the top students would have to shine my shoes!"

However, it was precisely because of this that he became even more aware of the diversity of the world.

We are now from two different worlds.

[Congratulations! You have learned the González language (beginner level). Evaluation: Ancient knowledge often conceals unknown secrets. Reward: Spirit Level +1.]

"There are rewards for learning an extraordinary language?"

A prompt flashed through Wayne's mind, and he quickly opened the panel to check it.

Name: Wayne Loft

Bloodline: Salut people

Occupation: Wizard Apprentice (Beginner)

Toughness rating: 15

Spiritual Level: 22.18

Origin: 3 (3)

Talent: None

技能：幽魂冥想法2级（0/100），贡萨雷斯语入门（0/10）

Survival Point: 28

[Note 1: This is a beginner's guide to González, meaning you only know a very small portion of the language's vocabulary. When identifying unknown González words, the success rate of correct comprehension is only 10%. Using supplementary tools can improve accuracy.]

"González Sinica beginner? Translation success rate only 10%?"

Wei En was stunned for a moment. So language skills are also skills... Then what are we waiting for? Let's add points to them!

Without hesitation, he immediately decided to improve his González language.

As he used his survival points to upgrade his González language to 10/10, and then selected "Yes" to upgrade, the panel displayed a new prompt.

[Congratulations! Your González language level has reached proficiency. Evaluation: You have gained the ability to uncover secrets. Special Rewards: Spirit Level +1, Resilience Level +1.]

[Note: Fluency in González means knowing only a small portion of the vocabulary. The success rate for correctly identifying unknown González words is 20%, and auxiliary tools can be used to improve accuracy.]

As if unlocking a new mind, a portion of knowledge appeared directly in Wayne's mind—a portion of the vocabulary of the Gonzalez language.

It's three times as much as the introductory part I learned before!

There are a total of 1,356 characters.

Wayne opened his eyes, a glint of wisdom flashing in them, as if a hidden corner of the world had been opened to him, giving him a sense of seeing through it all.

At the same time, he also learned some fragments of the Gonzare language.

At the end of the Second Age, an ancient god named Gonzalez created this language to help all sentient beings have the opportunity to touch the extraordinary and become extraordinary themselves…

"Ancient God... Gonzales..."

[You have learned some lost secrets; progress on the awakening of the ancient god Gonzales +1 (current progress 33/???). Special reward: Origin +1.]

Another notification popped into his mind, and Wayne calmly checked the panel.

It turns out that a "god" really exists in this world, and he is an ancient god who is currently in a slumber!

Awakening progress +1, and current progress 33... Does this mean that in the entire world, only 33 people know the secret of the ancient god Gonzales?

Or is it that only 33 secrets have been discovered?

But in either case, the number is pitifully small.

As the most widely used supernatural language, almost all supernatural beings know of the existence of Gonzarese.

Why is there such a huge difference?

Wayne frowned in thought. It seemed he had found another thing to investigate... the little-known ancient god Gonzales!

"So this 'source' has such a significant effect, improving the body so noticeably?"

Wei En carefully sensed the changes in his body, and compared to before, his body had indeed become more "sensitive".

The increase in his origin, somewhat like an increase in his spiritual level, made his body lighter and his five senses stronger.

If the farthest distance he could hear before was 100 meters, then increasing his source power by 1 point would increase that distance by 10 meters.

An improvement of about 10%... Amazing!

Just then, the lamplighter's deep, hoarse voice came from outside the window: "Praise be to the Lord of Dawn."

"Oh no!" Wayne realized that it was getting dark.

He quickly got up, went to the side, turned on the wall lamp, then struck a match and carefully lit a candle on the table. Only then did his expression relax.

These two steps are also strange habits of this world.

Almost every household turns on their gas lamps before nightfall and also lights a candle provided by the Dawn Church.

These gas and candles alone cost 3 shillings each month.

But these expenses are unavoidable.

Because the night under the red moon is the most dangerous—if you are not in a place where the light of dawn shines after nightfall, something terrible will happen!

The memories of the predecessor alone contain no fewer than a hundred related stories.

Furthermore, the protagonists of each story meet extremely tragic ends; it is said that their deaths are so horrific that they defy description.

Therefore, there was very little nightlife in the city-state of Castel.

This is why he was so interested when Lacey offered to take him to experience nightlife.

He was very curious about what kind of entertainment they would engage in under such circumstances, disregarding the terror of the Red Moon.

"Clang, clang..."

The timely ringing of the bells of Krims Cathedral marked the official arrival of night in the city-state of Castel.

Then a dazzling ray of light shone in through the window.

"Hmm?" Wayne got up and walked to the window, looking up at the sky. "That's..."

Above the Kremlin Cathedral in the distance, a huge ball of light slowly rose, and within that light, one could vaguely see a holy figure.

"The night will pass, but the dawn will endure."

"May the light of the Lord of Dawn forever shine upon the world, and may all things be good..."

Then a magnificent sound rang out, like the singing of a young child, praising the legend of the Lord of Dawn.

However, Wayne ignored the sounds and stared wide-eyed at the air.

So damn white... no, so holy.

The Dawn Church shouldn't be so poor; they make a fortune just from selling candles.

Why don't you even give someone clothes to wear?

Today I only have one chapter of 2000 words left. It took me a full three hours to write this chapter.

I cried.
