"The royal family can't support the entire Great Cause Empire anymore, and even the magic tower in the imperial capital can't protect it, and even after the tower is destroyed, I don't even know who did it. A complex mixture of sorrow and joy (qíng) welled up in the hearts of the nobles in attendance. The sad thing is that the strange road of the Great Cause Empire came so quickly, and the joy is that he can open his mouth again. If it were normal times, these nobles would not dare to do this. But today's Daye Empire, who knows how long this behemoth can exist? The Daye Empire does have hole cards against the 5th order powerhouse, but this hole card is not something that can be used at will, and the number of times it can be used is very limited. As long as you are far away from the center of the Great Cause Empire, isn't it still high in the sky for birds to fly?

The only thing that worried the nobles was the bandits whose whereabouts were uncertain. However, mages from all over the Great Empire are already working hard to strangle the ghosts that are the coordinates of the space, and special items have been developed for the ghosts of the hidden (shēn). In addition, the undead (yīn) shadow has no combat power, so even ordinary low-level fighters can easily kill it. It is precisely because of this that people do not associate Zuo Zhe with the gangsters who destroyed the magic tower. Moreover, the news fed back from the Southern Martial Arts Empire shows that there is a mysterious person who uses special energy and is so powerful that even the Martial Arts Empire's magician legion dare not underestimate it. In the friendly "exchanges" of the past few days, more than one of the members of this self-proclaimed "Akatsuki" organization was stronger than a fourth-order magician. Among them, a strange being who controls six corpses has a strong enough strength to fight against ten fourth-order magicians on his own!

Coupled with the shocking changes in the Western hegemonic kingdom, all signs indicate that the world is about to usher in drastic changes. If you can't do your best to improve your strength before the upheaval really comes, your family may become a page of waste paper in the garbage heap of history.

Because of the illusion ability, Zuo Zhe still did not encounter special suspicion in the Great Cause City under martial law. However, what is certain is that after this incident, the Great Cause Empire will definitely raise the defense level of Great Cause City by more than one grade. Just like now, in every street and alley in Daye City, there are soldiers like traffic police. And in the sky of Daye City, there are frequent flying demon pets patrolling back and forth.

It's a pity that the place Zuo Zhe is about to go to is no longer above the surface, but below the surface. The Terran peasant Yimin pointed out the location of the treasure house of the Great Cause Empire for Zuo Zhe, giving Zuo Zhe the idea of drilling under the surface. Considering that the vibration of the excavated rocks might reveal his whereabouts, Zuo Zhe decided to use the earth from the ground to control the strong corrosive ability of the rocks, and with the venom ability of the soft mud monster, to dig a passage from the ground.

On the bright side, Zuo Zhe is committing a crime against the wind. But the problem is that when the enemy is on high alert, those who are already on high alert may expose their weaknesses. What's more, Zuo Zhe also has a trick to attack the west.

The destruction of Daye City's magic tower has lowered Daye City's defense level by more than one notch. And the net-type investigation method has weakened the defense strength of Daye City at a local point. It seems to be a tight defense, but it is easier to misfire. It's like a drunken person, who looks like he's getting stronger, and his temper is fiercer, and it's even harder to provoke. But in fact, the more likely it is to be sow discord when you get drunk. Weakened control exposes weaknesses that shouldn't have been. It may not be wise for a drunk to be unstimulated, but it is much easier to provoke him into a pre-set trap.

In the darkness of the night, the soldiers and mages who had been tired all day ended up with nothing. In the middle of the night, the soldiers on the night patrol numbly patrolled the empty (dàng) streets, and did not find any visions at all.

Until a certain moment, a giant dragon with a body length of more than ten meters rose into the air and sprayed blazing flames towards the sleeping capital.

Under the blazing dragon's breath, the neighborhood inhabited by the nobles in the east of the city was invaded by flames. After a short breath of dragon breath, the dragon quickly flew into the air, and from the sky it spewed out the blazing flames of the Great Cause City below.

Losing the anti-air combat power of the Magic Tower, the night mages of Daye City did not immediately unleash a deadly enough magical attack on the dragon (shè). And ordinary magic attacks, for dragons with extremely high magic resistance, are not too powerful.

I watched the dragon soar into the air and fly high into the air, but the magicians below did not dare to fly up. Even a Rank 4 mage on night duty is no match for a dragon in the air, even if the enemy is not a wind-type dragon. And when the magician riding the flying beast took off, the various flame dragons that spewed flames in the sky flew away in advance.

The dragon flew away, leaving patches of flames in the city. If the magic tower of Daye City is still there, when the dragon breathes out the first wave of dragon breath, the mage on duty will be able to effectively kill the dragon, or at least destroy the dragon's ability to fly. But now, it's too late to say that. Although the Empire's high-ranking magicians learned the news of the destruction of the Empire's Magic Tower, they were only halfway back. Coupled with the fact that the flying mounts of these mages were very tired after a day of hurrying, this gave the dragon a chance to retreat calmly. If it was usual, where would a mere dragon be allowed to be so presumptuous?

Just when people were busy fighting fires and beware of new enemies taking advantage of the chaos to cause sabotage, in a passage under the surface that had been corroded during the day, the soil controlled by Zuo Zhe had already wrapped Zuo Zhe silently (bī) near the periphery of the underground treasure room of the royal capital of the Great Cause Empire.

In Zuo Zhe's magic perception, the next fifty meters were filled with dense magic vigilance arrays. In front of the magic vigilance circle, there is a treasure room wall with dense magic runes. It is extremely difficult to break through the outer wall of the treasure room and rush into the treasure room in a short period of time without alarming the enemy (qíng). Under normal circumstances, even a Rank 4 magician who is good at earth-based magic would not want to quietly rush into the treasure room of Daye City.

However, Zuo Zhe is not an ordinary magician.

The swamp field spreads out over the outer walls of the treasure room, rapidly eroding the rocks around the treasure room, leaving only a few fulcrums that keep the ground from sinking.

The corrosion continued, constantly corroding towards the bottom of the treasure room, corroding the relatively separate space beneath the surface. In order to prevent the smoke from spreading outward after corrosion, Zuo Zhe also specially inhaled those poisonous gases into the swamp space.

There was a mess on the surface, but the ground was gradually hollowed out. At this moment, Zuo Zhe is preparing with all his might, preparing for the last effort. Although the scale of the treasure room of the imperial family of the Great Cause Empire is somewhat large, the side length of the treasure room is about thirty meters. But as long as Zuo Zhe works hard, there is still a chance.

The softer and softer soil was collected by Zuo Zhe into the swamp space emptied in advance. In the underground space of Daye City, there is gradually an unknown open space. There is no dungeon under Daye City, and it seems that in ancient times, Daye City did not belong to the key nodes that connected the world here.

In the middle of the night, the strongest member of the royal family, an old magician who had stepped into the 5th order with one foot, felt a faint uneasiness. Last night, Daye City's magic tower was destroyed by an enemy sneak attack, resulting in a serious weakening of Daye City's city defenses. And tonight, a giant dragon appeared in the city of Daye as if out of thin air, spraying raging flames into the aristocratic residential areas that were not well prepared. After this incident, the imperial family of the Daye Empire has been swept away, and it has also given the nobles an excuse to leave the imperial capital of the Daye Empire and return to their respective territories. It is conceivable that as soon as tomorrow dawns, the great nobles will ask to return to their respective territories. As the de facto supreme ruler of the empire, the old man had stepped down from his position as emperor and devoted himself to cultivating magic, hoping to break through the 5th order to gain a longer lifespan before he died.

The dragon's flames were like a resounding slap in the face, slapping the cheeks of the old man and other high-ranking members of the royal family. Repeatedly bullied by the enemy, this group of high-ranking people really wants to have a desperate fight with the enemy in the dark. In the meeting room, it was quiet, as if it could suffocate people.

Rubbing his swollen eyebrows, the uneasiness in the old mage's heart continued to increase. Ever since the destruction of the Magic Tower, the old mage has been forced to break away from his cultivation and be responsible for the reconstruction of the new Magic Tower. Throughout the day, the old mage was busy redrawing the magic circle at the base of the magic tower on the ruins of the magic tower. In the evening, when the old mage had just begun to meditate, the dragon's breath disturbed the old mage from his meditation, and the old man was reminded to come back to his feet to deal with various matters and take charge of the security of Daye City. No one knows how many dragons are hidden in the darkness of the night. As a matter of course, dragons don't go it alone, especially if they target the capital of an empire like Daye City, especially if the Magic Tower is destroyed (qíng). Could it be that the dragon is ready to destroy the city of Great Cause and wants to carry out a night attack??

Wrong.

Although the sense of crisis lingered in his heart, the old mage felt that the crisis did not come from the sky, but more like from under the earth. With careful induction, the old mage's perception penetrated the surface and spread deeper underground. In a densely populated place like Daye City, where magic fluctuations will not be broken, the old mage usually does not open the perception of the will level. Once you open the perception at the level of will, you will feel that the world is as noisy as a bazaar. The strength has reached the peak of the 4th order, and the old mage's perception range has expanded too much, his perception is too sensitive, and the information he receives has increased too much, but he can't peep secretly like an ordinary 4th order mage.
