Chapter 92 Ancient Silver Coins
The sea rolls with dark waves, the moonlight ripples flash, and the mysterious black ghost ship slowly approaches.
The sailing ship is about the same length as a cruise ship. The black sails are broken and empty. The hull glows dimly in the moonlight, like a black statue that has been worn by wind and waves. It not only makes people fearful and want to escape, but also makes people unable to help but explore. of mystery.
The crew and crew stood on the deck, silently watching the uninvited ghost ship.
There is no light on the ghost ship, and there is only endless darkness. The arrival of this ship brings an unusual atmosphere to the calm sea.
It’s never just fear.
Greed takes over more.
In other words, everyone has a strong desire for adventure.
Based on rumors and experience, the crew speculated that the ghost ship was a crashed pirate ship that was blown to an unknown island due to a shipwreck, and then set sail again due to the sea wind.
A pirate ship means treasure. There is no reason to let the wealth that comes to your door go to waste.
At the captain's instruction, the sailor turned on the search light, organized a treasure hunting team of ten people, put on life jackets, jumped on the lifeboat and approached the ghost ship.
Director Wallace was the most excited and asked at the top of his lungs to join the treasure hunt team. He wanted to take people on board to shoot several sets of scenes for inclusion in the movie.
The ghost ship is not only a big gimmick to increase the box office, but also a free photography base. Wallace is excited just thinking about adding this group of shots to his movie.
I'm even more excited than when I slept with the second female lead last night.
The captain gave serious advice, saying that the ghost ship was in disrepair for a long time, and if you were not careful, your life would be in danger.
Wallace couldn't listen to this. He was a director with artistic pursuits. Compared with death, he was more afraid of being mediocre in his life. After his death, he would not even have a masterpiece worthy of being remembered by future generations.
"As a director, my first half of life was too mediocre. I never participated in a war, never encountered pirates when I went to sea, and never encountered earthquakes, tsunamis, storms, etc...."
"I can only envy other directors who survived the disaster and were able to burst out with inspiration and make masterpieces that will be passed down to generations. I am no worse than them. I just lack an opportunity. I won't let this opportunity go no matter what I say tonight!"
Wallace refused to listen to the dissuasion and organized the crew to take a lifeboat. The captain and first mate all dispatched, and he almost went crazy because of this idiotic director.
On the other side, Wayne came to the stern of the ship. While everyone was gathered on the deck, he jumped into the sea and sneaked towards the ghost ship.
He used the water element to cast spells and dived very fast underwater. Before the lifeboat even got close to the ghost ship, he had already circled back and boarded the ghost ship.
At this time, Wayne didn't care whether there was a magician on the cruise ship or whether the spell cast would be noticed by the other party. He smelled a strong dark atmosphere and there was treasure on the ghost ship.
Magical treasure.
Those who are destined to have the treasures of heaven and earth will live there;
If God does not take them, he will suffer the consequences;
If you have an advantage, don't take advantage of the bastard.
Wayne can utter hundreds of such famous aphorisms that lead people to do good. In short, in one sentence, treasures are wasted in other people's hands, but only in his hands can they fully realize their value.
The deck of the ghost ship was dilapidated and heavy with moisture, as if it had been fished out of the water, and the rotten wood would break if stepped on.
Wayne used the cover of darkness to avoid the cruise ship's searchlight, followed the dark atmosphere to the captain's cabin, and soon touched a palm-sized treasure box.
He opened the rusty lock and saw a dark, glowing ring in the wooden box.
"This ring looks familiar!"
Wayne: (一`一)
Maybe it’s an illusion, the ring looks very familiar, very similar to the collection of the director of the lunatic asylum.
Wayne imagined an evil Blackbeard pirate captain who used a dark ring to make waves on the sea. Whenever the navy came to encircle and suppress him, he was defeated by the dark ring. He escaped justice for many years and accumulated countless treasures.
Later, due to a shipwreck, the arrogant pirate ship sank to the bottom of the sea.
As for the ring, it is very similar to the one in the dean's hand. It is understandable that the death knight can have two, not to mention the dark goddess's magic ring.
There should be a pair of these, or more, and the dean picked up one of them.
It was reasonable and logical, and Wayne convinced himself immediately.
Just a scumbag!
The sound of stepping on wooden boards was heard behind him. Wayne raised his brows and slowly turned around to look over.
As soon as he saw it, the undead skeleton in armor was wrapped in black mist, with white flames dancing in his eyes. He was only one horse and a sword away from the complete death knight.
It scared me, I thought it was the Dark Knight!
“Ghost?”
Wayne held the dark ring with one hand, and the black mist wrapped around the edge of his fist, which had just startled him. Because it was a dark ring, he almost thought that the Dark Knight was coming to the door.
Is this the result?
If you are a death knight, then who am I!
"We meet again, Wayne. How about the meeting ceremony? Do you like it?"
The undead skeleton dispersed the power of death on its body, revealing Gangplank's stiff white-bearded face, and praised: "To be honest, you are so courageous. I thought it would scare you."
"You did scare me..."
Wayne weighed the ring in his hand and was speechless: "Dean Plank, why are you pretending to be a ghost on the sea when you have nothing to do? Is the lunatic asylum organizing team building?"
Speaking of this, he probably had the answer in his mind.
"I promised the high priest that I can't meet with you, and I must be honest..."
Gangplank returned to his skeleton undead form: "After so many days, what do you think about it? Are you interested in joining our Free Mage Alliance?"
That’s so interesting!
"To be honest, I'm not very interested."
Wayne frowned: "The teacher has told me a lot during this time. Joining the Freedom Alliance is tantamount to betraying her. I don't want to let her down."
"Just don't let her know. If you don't tell, I won't tell, no one will know."
How is it possible? This old boy is so unreliable at first glance!
Wayne rolled his eyes and said truthfully: "Dean Plank, your invitation is sincere. You saved me once. It's really hard for me to refuse you, but the teacher treats me..."
"Wait a minute, since you mentioned the high priest, I have to mention the high priest's husband, Mr. Landau."
Planck was obviously well prepared and said cheerfully: "Mr. Landau gave me a price I couldn't refuse. As the director, I diagnosed you with a mental illness and urgent need for hospitalization, preferably long-term hospitalization. , spent his whole life in Hongyelin Lunatic Asylum.”
Wayne: "..."
A little surprising, but not that surprising, it’s that person’s style.
"But don't worry, I only promised him superficially..."
Plank talked about his plan and gave Wayne the dark ring. When Auston asked about it, he said that Wayne had been contaminated by darkness.
In this way, Plank got the research grant, Wayne got the magic props, and was saved from being chased and beaten by Alston. In this win-win situation, everyone has a bright future.
"You can't hide it for long. He's not a fool. He sent someone to test it out and exposed it." Wayne shrugged and saw through Planck's true plan: "In the end, you just found a scapegoat. As long as you don't offend my teacher, You tricked me into joining the Free Mage Alliance."
These words made Plank very embarrassed. He really thought so. Wayne's calmness was beyond his expectation. He thought that after moving out of Allston, Wayne would switch to his side without hesitation.
Seeing Gangplank tugging at his beard and saying nothing, Wayne sighed: "Dean Gangplank, I am willing to join the Free Mage Alliance. Please keep your mouth shut and don't let my teacher be disappointed in me."
Planck didn't understand. Was he impressed by his sincerity?
"No matter what, you are a highly respected and legendary mage who can save my life. I can refuse you once, but I can't refuse you every time." Wayne sighed repeatedly and told his helplessness. The goddess of nature has a firm belief and is loyal to her teacher, so she was forced to join the Free Mage Alliance.
Your love for me has turned into unilateral pressure, and win-win cooperation has turned into just talking about business without talking about emotions. The more Planck thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Then I thought about it, no matter what, Wayne was willing to join the Free Mage Alliance, and his goal was achieved.
"Of course, I also have a condition, and I hope the dean will agree."
"Tell me about it."
"Mr. Landau, Dean, please don't lie to him. He is a smart man. He cannot hide whether I am contaminated by darkness. This plan is meaningless." Wayne persuaded Plank to change the plan and use the drag trick. , every time Auston asked, he said it would be done soon, right away, right away.
Planck hesitated because he would not be able to earn funding.
"He is not only a smart man, but also a man who will do anything to achieve his goals. Failure will only bring more crazy blows. As you can see, I am still a magician's apprentice. I have neither the time nor the ability to accompany him to show off his tricks." Wayne said that it was too difficult for him. He just wanted to do magic and occasionally engage in magical girls, and he didn't want to waste precious time on his father-in-law.
Thirty years to the east of the Tame River, thirty years to the west of the Tame River. When he stands up, it will not be too late to accompany his old father-in-law.
Now, it’s better to hide and go!
Planck struggled for a moment and said, "Mr. Landau is indeed a difficult opponent. I'll take a step back. You can keep the ring and I'll share half of the funds with you."
I will definitely keep the ring, and I will not refuse the funds, but you are so eager to share the spoils, no, what does sharing the pot mean?
You, a legendary mage, still have to look at his face, so you are just kneeling down to beg for food!
Is Lao Yinbi’s way so wild?
Wayne was surprised and heard a bit of helplessness from Plank's words. He re-evaluated Oston's status in the world and guessed that it was related to the Tulip family and the Windsor royal family.
It's useless to dwell on things that are too far away. Wayne nodded and agreed, leaving the ring and half of the funds. The two of them joined forces to trick Alston into a big deal.
"but!"
Wayne's tone increased: "I took the risk. Just adding more money is definitely not enough. The dean must give me something to increase my strength."
"Didn't I give you the ring?"
"The ring is only an auxiliary. The power lies in itself. I am a magician's apprentice. Even if you give me an artifact, I won't become a legend."
Wayne's face turned serious for a moment: "I need the four elements. I need to skip the beginner stage as soon as possible. Only when I am strong can I resist Mr. Landau's endless conspiracies."
"That's not a problem."
Plank readily agreed. It was just the four elements. He had stored a lot of them, so there was no harm in giving some to Wayne.
It's a small amount of money that can't be spent much.
"No, this is a big problem. I accumulate elements very slowly..."
Wayne frowned and said, "There seems to be something wrong with my physique. The teacher spent a lot of effort to let me meditate, and even specially arranged a magic circle that gathers the four elements..."
Wayne was talking so fast that Plank just laughed.
Young man, your vision is still too shallow!
In Gangplank's view, Wayne's teacher is a Golden Mage, and his rank has not yet reached a higher level. He doesn't know what other uses the four elements have, and his collection methods are not very sophisticated.
Gangplank is different. He is a legendary mage. The four elements are not a problem for him. Wayne can take care of whatever he wants.
"Wayne, your physique is indeed abnormal, which has transformed your life essence, otherwise you would not be able to withstand the backlash brought by many beliefs. Similarly, your powerful life essence requires you to have more of the four elements. This It’s very reasonable. Your teacher can’t satisfy you, but our Free Mage Alliance can.”
Plank was convinced of this. What he was interested in was Wayne's strange physique, or bloodline. He took out an ancient silver coin from his arms and handed it over.
"This silver coin is..."
Wayne had seen the same model in Auston's hand.
"It's a token of the Free Mage Alliance. Only a few people own it. I'll lend it to you for a while." Gangplank was very happy.
He explained to Wayne that the Free Mage Alliance once captured a gray space, and the collapsed world returned to its original state, spilling a large amount of the four elements, the number being so exaggerated as to be unbelievable.
Ancient silver coins serve as space channels and can transport the four elements to the holder.
Wayne could have eaten as much as he wanted. The gray space was full and he didn't care about his appetite.
“What is gray space?”
Wayne suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and took the ancient silver coin. The Free Mage Alliance was indeed reliable, and his old father-in-law thanked him again for his assist.
He gave away his daughter, his wife, his house, his housekeeper, and repeatedly gave away resources and equipment for his spiritual practice. For this reason, he did not hesitate to act as a clown. Wayne vowed that his good life would be indispensable for his future prosperity.
"That is the miracle of the fall, which proves to us that God is not eternal..."
Plank smiled mysteriously. Seeing that Wayne was even more curious, he shook his head and said: "It's too early for you. You just need to remember one thing. Faith does not have to be absolute. God does not care. The true meaning of the world is magic, not God! "
Wayne nodded. He had his own opinions about God, but he would not contradict a legendary mage. There was no harm in listening to the experience of his predecessors.
The two completed the deal, and Wayne joined the Free Mage Alliance, received a dark ring and an ancient silver coin, and couldn't wait to return to the cabin to practice.
Plank was equally satisfied after completing his seduction of Wayne. The two of them walked down the cabin and dived into the water together.
At this time, the expedition team composed of crew members had just climbed onto the deck of the ghost ship and began their treasure hunting adventure in full swing.
Director Wallace also set foot on the ghost ship as he wished and shot precious footage under the protection of several crew members.
…
night.
The full moon hangs high.
Wayne sat cross-legged on the sofa in the cabin, holding an ancient silver coin in his hand, and opened the transmission channel to the gray space.
Different from the elemental space of the Lord of the Void, Wayne saw a gray world through the transmission channel, a world that was collapsing...
This world has extremely spectacular buildings, including mountains, jungles, rivers and seas. Everything is collapsing and disintegrating, and a huge amount of the four elements are filling it.
Each of them occupies a corner, with an astonishing density. Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, and they are embodied into the visible earth, fire, water and wind in nature.
The big eyes opened, and after checking his eyes, the fire elemental roared and rushed over.
Wayne couldn't help but curl up his lips. If the Lord of the Void had a spirit on earth, he would definitely smile when he saw someone inheriting his legacy.
Say nothing more and open the book!
