Many people find it difficult to understand why Zhou Ming refused to marry the Lucis family, and why did he allow the situation to deteriorate, leading to the outbreak of a large-scale war?

The first reason is that he personally does not want to get married and does not want to be bound by marriage and family anymore.

The second reason is also related to the power of the aristocratic faction in the empire, which is too strong and is a huge destabilizing factor, and Zhou Ming has to be like a way to weaken the strength of the aristocratic faction.

In particular, weaken the Lucis family.

Zhou Ming hoped that in the Orunian Empire, no forces that could challenge his authority would be allowed, and he would want the world to bow down, and no one would dare to be arrogant and presumptuous...... In this way, no matter what he was going to do, no one questioned it in his ear and made a crooked sound.

He also wanted to have his ears clean.

After a series of operations, the power of the aristocratic faction was reduced by half, and the Lucis family was in a slump, and the territory was only less than half of the original.

However, at this time, Zhou Ming's attention was no longer here.

His energy was mainly focused on another thing.

What happened to Conan Cecil.

It's been more than half a year since he was sent to the Blue Hand Guild Headquarters, what happened to him?

Is there any ulterior conspiracy that is happening in his head?

Through communication with Conan, he was in good condition and was not in danger for the time being.

But according to all kinds of clues, Zhou Ming basically decided that the danger was approaching Conan.

What dangers?

The danger of acting as a "purifier".

In the past six months, Conan has entered a closed magic academy, and the type of magic he studies every day is not the blue power, but another magic called "dark red power".

"The power of red" is similar to the "power of darkness", it is a kind of magic power with negative energy attributes, the attack power is equivalent to the power of the blue, but it has strong corrosiveness, and on the spiritual level, it is also easy for warlocks to fall into the so-called "magic path", becoming cruel and easy to kill, and vicious.

And the power of the dark red is the main type of power that erodes the "blue power" of the magic net.

The magic academy that Conan entered not only carried out in-depth research on the "power of the red", but also introduced the power of the crimson through a special method to form a spiritual array for the students to cultivate.

Recently, after Conan's theoretical course, he will also enter the "cultivation room" and practice the so-called "power of red".

So far.

Zhou Ming finally understood what was the purpose of the Blue Hand actively collecting those "self-connectors"?

Purify the net.

Yes, the purpose of the Blue Hand is also to purify the magic net.

However, the purification method adopted by the Blue Hand was diametrically opposed to the method that Zhou Ming came up with.

Zhou Ming's method was to clear the blue power in the magic net, import all the blue power into the material surface, leave the source of pollution "dark red power", and then find a way to remove it.

The method adopted by the Blue Hand is to introduce the blue power in the material plane into the magic net as much as possible, and then think of some ways to introduce the pollution source "dark red power" into the material plane, and realize the purification of the magic net at the cost of the pollution of the material plane.

Although the two methods have the same goal, the specific means of achieving them are diametrically opposed.

So what would be better?

Zhou Ming must have felt that his method was better, because the material plane was not polluted, and in the energy layer, it was also relatively convenient to reconstruct a new magic net far from the source of pollution, and it would no longer be affected by the "power of red".

What about the Blue Hand?

They must feel that their method is better, although after the blue power of the material plane is drained, they will enter a period of "End of Law Era", but as long as the magic net is purified, the power development of the Blue Moon Continent will usher in new glory again!

It's just that the price after completing the purification is that the material plane will be polluted by the "power of red".

Of course, since the amount of "red power" is not very large, the degree of contamination should be within an acceptable range.

But in Zhou Ming's eyes, this method of purifying the magic net can only be described in two words: stupid.

Stupid!

This is clearly equivalent to treating the material plane as a "garbage dump", polluting the material plane that was not polluted in the first place, so that the warlocks who were able to cultivate normally were exposed to the mixed environment of the two forces, which seriously affected the cultivation of the warlocks.

The most terrible consequence is that once the concentration of the "Crimson Power" is high, a large number of "Demon Gate" warlocks who cultivate the power of the Crimson may emerge on the plane of the Blue Moon, and the Demon Gate Warlocks are generally cruel and cruel, and do all kinds of evil, if the number continues to increase, it will lead to "evil is invincible".

In the end, the entire Blue Moon Plane fell into a situation from which there was no return.

And this kind of phenomenon, Zhou Ming has seen in other planes, and there is more than one case, he naturally knows that the blue hand has taken a detour.

In addition, there is one last question: why did the Blue Hand search for the so-called "self-connectors" to join this purification plan if they wanted to purify the magic net by transferring "pollution" to the material plane?

Is there anything different about the connectors?

There are, of course, differences.

And the advantages are obvious.

Because compared to ordinary "purifiers", the average efficiency of the extremely talented self-connecting person from the magic net is 2 to 5 times that of ordinary purifiers.

Staying awake for 1 to 3 times more time per day than an average purifier.

As for the survival lifespan, most of the self-connecting purifiers can survive for about 10 years.

And ordinary purifiers, under the erosion of the power of the red, can only live for two or three years at most.

Therefore, in terms of comprehensive purification efficiency, a self-connecting purifier is about equivalent to 100 ordinary purifiers.

It's just that even so, with the number of about ten self-connected people born in the whole continent every year, even if the Blue Hand is all collected, it is only equivalent to 1,000 ordinary purifiers, and this number of people, to complete the task of purifying the magic net, I don't know if it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

If you want to speed up the purification efficiency, it is better to recruit more ordinary purifiers, there is no need to collect the self-connected ones and consume them like cannon fodder.

But what really killed the self-connectors was their extraordinary talent.

Because the top management of the Blue Hand found that if the self-connected person could survive ten years under the washing of the power of the red, not only would he not die, but he would also completely degenerate into a "demon", with a lifespan of more than 10,000 years, the transmission efficiency increased by a hundredfold, and day and night, the purification efficiency skyrocketed!

There are currently more than 20 "demons" like this, the forbidden land in the back mountain of the Blue Hand Guild, and their purification ability is off the charts.

Therefore, the purpose of the Blue Hand's high-level active search for the self-connected ones is to hope that the "demons" in the forbidden land in the back mountain can increase a few more and complete the purification of the demon net as soon as possible.

This is also the reason why Zhou Ming was so excited and excited when he noticed his existence after connecting to the magic net, because with Zhou Ming's talent, if he was put into the purification of the magic net, Carlo Sisnari felt that he had a probability of more than eighty or ninety percent that he could become a "demon".

So Caro Sisneri can't wait to send an elite team to the Orunian Empire to find his whereabouts in every possible way.

"Ma Dan, a highly talented self-connector, in the eyes of the Blue Hand, has actually become the top purification tool. ”

"They're really good at playing. ”

Zhou Ming, who understood everything, shook his head.

……

The other side.

After the completion of the six-month intensive training.

Unaware of what was going to happen, Conan Cecil was sent to a heavily guarded cave.

Then his eyes went dark, and he was slapped unconscious by someone.

When he woke up, he found himself lying on a cold stone bed, his hands and feet were all in heavy chains and shackles, and there was no possibility of breaking free.

And immediately ushered in his painful journey.

The connection point of his soul strings, under the expectant gaze of President Carlo Hisneri, slowly shifted to the end of the magic net, entered the source of pollution, and connected to the "Crimson Power".

The crimson power, which is extremely corrosive to the soul and body, was directly poured into Conan's body through the soul strings.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Help me, come and save me!"

Conan rolled wildly, letting out an incomparably terrible scream that reverberated back and forth in the cave.

The caves that screamed like this were densely packed on the mountainsides of several tall rocks in this forbidden land, and there were tens of thousands of them.
