Chapter 576: The bait has been released, who will take the bait?
Lakstak Fortress, the main fort study.
The bright moonlight outside the window, cold and soft, soaked through the window like flowing water, pouring quietly into the room, dotting the floor with mottled land.
Modrian sat behind his desk and looked intently at the thick book he was holding, the pages turning and the subtle sound of tapping.
The moonlight flickered, and time faded.
The sound of turning the pages quietly stopped, and Mordrian stared at the blank back cover, sighed in disappointment, and gently closed the old book called "On the Demise and War of the Magic Empire", his expression was a little gloomy.
The advent of Hextech's standard firearms was like opening a Pandora's box, causing far-reaching effects in Valoran's territory.
Especially in some town defense battles and caravan encounters, after many sieges and attacks of abyss monsters in a row, many ordinary people can see that the transcendent boundary is no longer as unattainable as before, and many people secretly become more and more interested in Hex's technology standard firearms.
Perhaps a veteran knight, or a strong man above the Grand Knight, can rely on his own strength to ignore the threat posed by Hextech's standard firearms.
But there are some things that are only afraid of comparison.
Compared to the extraordinary resources and time spent on promotion, mastering Hextech's standard firearms is obviously more advantageous, and it is an incomparably huge advantage.
This is only extraordinary, so how will the apprentices who are on the path to transcendence see themselves?
Even if you learn the breathing technique and are heroic in personal force, as long as you do not advance to the Transcendental, the danger posed by firearms is deadly.
The advent and use of firearms directly equalized all ordinary people.
Modrian's eyes rolled and he looked at the ancient books on the table, almost all of them pointed to the Wizard Empire, which was also from Ogst's suggestion, looking for traces of the existence of the Wizard Empire.
The Demon Empire, the human empire that has long disappeared in the long river of time, is also the most powerful empire in the Karadimos continent in the past.
They had invented similar magical alchemy items and used them within the Empire, and unexpectedly, the mighty empire eventually disappeared from the continent of Karadimos without warning.
He still vividly remembered the tone and expression of Ogst when he spoke this, a mixture of awe, fear, pity, and disbelief.
Vanishing empires?
A Fallen Empire?
An Annihilated Empire?
The name of the Magic Empire has been recorded in many ancient books, but the history of the demise of the empire cannot be found, and occasionally from the records of some historians, you can vaguely get a glimpse of the strength of this empire, but you can't feel it intuitively.
"Traces of the gods?" Modrian withdrew his gaze, thoughtful.
In recent days, he has read the treasured books handed in by these nobles, and he has seen a little trace of the gods in them, as if the demise of the Demon Empire involves the gods, and it is not as simple as a single god.
Although the history of the Wizard Empire is not recorded in the books, Ogst vaguely recalls some shattered memories that are incomparably distant.
At that time, he was a young dragon who had just been born, and he stopped in the vast dragon realm, and heard that the once powerful magic empire was in many planes, and even the temple of the gods was not in his eyes.
"A powerful magic empire that gave birth to a civilization similar to technology? Casting a magician? Enslaved the gods? ”
Modrian stretched out his left hand and flicked the name of the book, slightly interested, just Ogst's verbal description could give a glimpse of the splendor of the Wizard Empire.
Even in the past countless times, the continent of Karadimos still retains some of the civilizations of the Magic Empire, such as the alchemy of goblins and gnomes, the magic casting of dwarves, and even the magic towers built by many spellcasters today also incorporate some of the alchemy technology of the former Magic Empire.
Moreover, the destruction of the Demon Empire can completely show that the influence and terrifying strength of the gods in the main material plane are far beyond the imagination of outsiders.
Modrian was glad that he had the foresight to hide the Hextech research in the Iron Glass City, and only launched two Hextech products, the [Hextech Standard Firearm (Charged Type)] and the [Hextech Turret (Type 1)].
Even so, the impact of these two Hextech products was beyond his expectations.
The continent of Karadimos is currently in the stage of abyssal invasion, and the surrounding kingdoms and empires are too busy to pay too much attention to the changes in the Valoran Territory.
But Modrian believes that it will be when the wave of Hextech firearms reaches them that a real spiral of the times will form.
The shadows are distorted and the lights are dimmed.
Zai quietly appeared in the corner of the room, took a few steps forward, and said softly: "News has come from His Majesty Svein that the Temple of Wealth and the Temple of Strength have sent messengers to Limontamlu, hoping to meet you. ”
"Huh? Temple of Wealth and Temple of Strength. Modrian frowned slightly, and asked.
"Why did they come over all of a sudden?"
Crimson eyes flickered, and he said in a low tone, "They want to buy the [Hextech Standard Firearm (Charged Type)] and the [Hextech Turret (Type 1)], as well as the [Space Jamming Device] made by Professor Heimerdinger. ”
"Interesting, they got the news so quickly?"
Modrian glanced at the calamity in front of him that released a faint killing intent, and nodded: "Let's go kill another batch!" ”
Valoran's institutional reform has long caused dissatisfaction among a small number of people.
The rotten preconceived notion made them think that the Valoran Territory would not be slaughtering on a large scale, so they openly accepted the restrictions of the Valoran Territory and handed over their respective rights, but secretly did something betrayal.
This is too disgusting,
"Also, inform Svein to refuse the requests of the Temple of Fortune and the Temple of Power, but choose some Hextech firearms as gifts for them." Modrian commanded that the appearance of Hextech had caught the attention of the Temple, but now was not the time to break the situation.
At the moment of the Abyssal Invasion, the Temple of Wealth and the Temple of Power are mired in war, and the Valoran Lords are also watched and coveted in the shadows.
As for the Hextech standard firearms, even if he doesn't give them away, the Temple of Wealth and the Temple of Power will get them quickly.
However, the Hextech Turret is not easy to obtain, because of the power and warlike nature of the Fort itself, Valoran Territory strictly registers the Hextech Turrets in all towns.
"Yes, my lord." Zai said softly, hiding the crimson killing intent in his eyes.
The shadows are gone, and the lights are dim.
Modrian's gaze fell on the table, looking at the heavy old books, and whispered softly.
"The bait has been released, who will take the bait?"
......
Darkness, only darkness.
In the boundless realm of darkness, fear and death are intertwined, and desolation consumes everything.
Snort!
A few rays of red light appeared, and the overflowing crimson aura soaked the dark realm, and a great will descended.
"Come out when you arrive, there's unexpected news from Valoran's side."
The will of the great shore volleyed into the air, outlining a hazy and illusory crimson image, overlooking the void in front of him.
As soon as the words fell, the piercing cyan lightning pierced through the dark space, and the cold and domineering consciousness hung in the air like a blazing sun, oppressing all beings.
Soon after, there was an evil aura like a surging tide, enveloping endless calamities, and cyan lightning and crimson images were far away.
"Huh? Someone is absent? ”
"Don't worry about that war maniac, recently competed with the Ice and Snow Temple of the Elean Faluo Empire, and both sides have invested a lot of combat power in the abyss." The aura of evil pervaded, and a faint pair of pupils crossed the spatial barrier, staring at the crimson image.
"Say, what's the news? Such a hurry to meet. ”
"Valoran Territory is suspected to be the remnant force of the Demon Empire, and there are many low-level magic guides in the territory." The crimson image trembled, and the will of the mighty shore conveyed a secret message.
"Are you sure?" Cyan lightning dangled in the air, a flash of light.
"Sure, this just proves why Valoran has risen in such a short period of time, and.... Possess at least one artifact. The crimson image slowly converged, and an inexplicable greed flowed through the dark realm.
"Maybe our plan can be advanced, this cake has already attracted a lot of people's attention."
"Artifact, Wizard Empire, are you sure we can eat it? After all, the original war could have fallen many gods. Cyan Lightning asked with a slight hesitation.
"What are you afraid of, Valoran Territory is not a powerful Demon Empire, they may be a relic of obtaining part of the Demon Empire." The evil aura set off a wave, and the sudden appearance of the pupils revealed a touch of blood.
"If it's really a relic of the Wizard Empire, then our harvest may be as simple as just an artifact...... I agree to execute the plan in advance. ”
"Well, then I agree."
"Okay, then please inform that war maniac, we plan to advance and take advantage of the abyss invasion to completely engulf the Valoran Territory."
The crimson light extinguished, and the will of the mighty shore gradually dissipated, and then the cyan lightning and evil aura used their means to leave.
Once again, the dark realm was calm, and the barren space lingered.
