Wizard: I Add Points and Hunt Monsters

"That’s right!" Menor asked with a half-smile. "Is there something you haven’t been telling me?"

"What’s there to say," Clelia’s expression darkened as she recalled Wei’en killing a captain under the Black Pearl’s banner. "A few days ago, Wei’en killed a member of the Black Pearl’s crew. They must be here for him."

"Is that so?" Menor pointed to the people on the other ship. "Black Jack, First Officer of the Black Pearl, and suspected to be at the Legendary-grade. He wouldn’t come all this way for something so minor, would he?"

"It’s him?"

"You’ve seen him?"

Clelia frowned. "He appeared in Caster City State before. He tried to abduct Tina... yes, the Calamity-species."

"Oh? A Calamity-species?" Menor seemed to recall something and raised an eyebrow. "Then that must have been Isabella’s order. From what I know, Isabella hasn’t been seen since that battle with the one from the West Coast. I imagine her situation isn’t good right now."

"None of that matters. Now that even the Black Pearl has shown up, Wei’en is in even greater danger. Go save him!"

"Alright... Hmm? Wait! Who is that person?"

Menor was about to nod in agreement when, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a figure on the Bai Ke Li. It was none other than Dr. Yuan Morris.

"What’s wrong?"

"I think I see an old friend..."

’Plague Doctor Morris... is that you?’

Clelia asked, confused, "Who?"

"Let’s wait and see. Perhaps nothing will happen to Wei’en. I remember he was also in Caster City State before..."

A flicker of light passed through Menor’s eyes, but he didn’t explain further.

...

...

Meanwhile, Wei’en never expected to see familiar faces in these waters, thousands of miles from Caster City State.

"Marco..."

Looking closely, he saw that the five-masted sailing ship carried not only Marco, but also Black Jack, who had tried to abduct Tina that night, the Vasquez princess who was glaring at him with hatred and resentment, and—Yuan?

’How did those two end up on that ship?’

Wei’en could guess why Black Jack had come looking for him. It was likely because he had killed Henrik, captain of the Storm Hunter. According to the Black Pearl’s rules, they were here to either invite him or eliminate him.

But seeing Marco and Yuan on the same ship with them was what truly confused and astonished him!

’Especially Marco. Shouldn’t he have stayed with the Secret Investigation Department after that night?’

’Or was he... a pirate from the Black Pearl all along?’

’Well, it’s not impossible, though the probability is low.’

However, Wei’en also knew this wasn’t the time to dwell on such things. There was still a Holy Favored of the Dawn Church floating above his head.

’Looks like after I deal with the Dawn Church, I’ll still have more to do. What a pain...’

Thinking this, Wei’en waved in their direction, showing he’d spotted them. It was his way of saying hello.

Then, he took out the Golden Key and turned it gently, preparing to return to the Clown Theater, bring Clelia out, and resurrect her using the power of the Resurrection Coffin.

This time, however, no matter how he turned the key, the spatial passage to the Clown Theater did not appear. It was as if a mysterious power had reinforced the surrounding space.

[You are within the range of the Lord of Dawn Orpheus’s blessing ritual. The surrounding space has been locked. Evaluation: It would be best for you to act mediocre... but it’s too late! Special Reward: Survival Points +50, Source +1, Spirit Level +2, Resilience Level +2.]

’Space lock?’

Wei’en frowned slightly and looked up at Pavla in mid-air.

In the air, after a pillar of gold light and a pillar of blue light descended, the sphere of light surrounding the Priest named Pavla continued to expand, indicating that the power of the blessing was gradually strengthening. Her once-clear body began to blur, as if deliberately shielding itself from outside view.

’No, that’s not it.’ Wei’en’s expression grew solemn as he noticed the area around the sphere of light. "Spatial distortion!"

Observing closely, he discovered that as the sphere of light expanded, the space around it was compressed, forming halo-like rings of light. Even from a great distance, the terrifying power still exerted a strong sense of pressure on him.

Not only that, but a layer of golden clouds had appeared in the sky at some point. Above the clouds, a phantom figure was faintly visible—a figure in golden robes with a blurred face, only the outline visible. Its eyes shone with a soft golden light, exuding an air of warmth.

Then, the phantom slowly extended a hand, lowering it gently from above to rest on the golden-blue sphere of light. Just like a Bishop in a church giving an adult their blessing, It was blessing Pavla.

Wei’en glanced at it for just a moment before instinctively shutting his eyes and turning his head away.

’Is... is that It?’

’There’s no mistake. It has to be It—the Lord of Dawn, Orpheus!’

Just a single glance at that being’s figure was enough to burn his eyes.

It was as if It were reminding him that this was his punishment for blasphemy.

Tsk!

Noticing the prompts on his panel, Wei’en instantly vanished from the deck of the Ronan, reappearing closer to Yuan and the others.

’Now things are getting troublesome!’

"Come over here, Wei’en. Let’s talk," Yuan called out calmly from the deck of the Bai Ke Li.

"Uncle Yuan," Wei’en said, turning to look at him. His gaze swept over the others on the ship before finally landing on Marco. "And Marco. It’s been a while."

"It has been some time..."

Marco forced a smile. If they had met at any other time or place, he would have been delighted to see Wei’en.

But right now, with the blessing of Dawn overhead and surrounded by pirates from the Black Pearl...

...no matter how he looked at it, this was not a good place for a reunion.

"I... I’ll kill him!"

From within the crowd, Nicole Vazquez stared daggers at Wei’en, her eyes filled with killing intent.

Even though more than ten days had passed, she still couldn’t forget what had happened that night in Caster City State, on that damned Dumitru District street.

Her companions, her people, the valiant Warriors of the Vasquez Race... they were all killed by this man!

"Nicole, calm down!" Hearing her words, Waleed reminded her in a low voice, "You saw how he fought just now. If we make an enemy of him at this moment, the First Officer and the others might be fine, but you—and that includes me—will probably all die at his hands!"

"I..."

"Waleed is right," Black Jack, who was standing nearby, overheard them and said coolly. "Although his current strength is not yet a threat to me or Yuan, it’s impossible to kill him instantly. Nicole, you don’t want to see that terrifyingly powerful Corpse Explosion Skill used on the Bai Ke Li, do you?"

Nicole bit her lip hard, refusing to let the tears welling in her eyes fall. It was the last shred of stubborn pride she had as the princess of the Vasquez Race.

The next second, she turned, pushed through the crowd behind her, and ran toward the ship’s cabins.

Waleed opened his mouth. "Nicole..."

"Let her cool off alone." Black Jack shook his head. If these Vasquez People had genuinely joined the Black Pearl, he wouldn’t have been so cold, but alas...

"Not coming over?" Yuan ignored their conversation and looked at Wei’en, inviting him again. "You can’t leave this place until that ritual is over, can you?"

Wei’en glanced at him, then his figure flickered and appeared on the railing of the Bai Ke Li. Fortunately, the power boost from the forbidden item was still active, so he wasn’t too worried about the people from the Black Pearl attacking him.

’Worst case, I’ll just use the silver Harmonica again!’

"Uncle Yuan, why did you go out to sea?"
