Chapter 151: The Secret That Can't Be Said
It may be that she has been with Sauron for a long time, and Goliath is also relatively strong in her style.
On the same day, she ordered Saruman to plant a large number of mutant man-eating plants near the valley, and then gathered the labor force of nearby towns to build a large military camp outside. This will be the place where an elite legion of Modo City will be entrenched, and it will also serve as the front line of the attack against the bottomless abyss. The demon's sudden attack had caused panic in the city of Mordor, but Sauron had already made arrangements for this kind of thing before leaving. So soon other news began to circulate in the city of Modo.
Demons are about to attack our world!
The news spread throughout the city of Mordor at an alarming speed, and then other miscellaneous news spread to the port area.
First of all.
Not only Modo City was attacked by demons, but other places on the continent were also attacked by demons, and it is not clear from far away, but closer is a medium-sized town near the City of Fortune, whose name seems to be Roland Town or something, has been completely destroyed under the sudden attack of demons. Not only Roland Town, which is close to the City of Fortune, but also towns near Shipwreck Bay and Port Taylor have been attacked by demons, but unlike Modo City, they have suffered heavy losses and have barely survived. It was completely until other places reflected it, and with the mobilization of many churches, nobles, organizations, etc., that these demons were completely destroyed.
In comparison, the losses in Modo City were simply negligible.
The worst town of Roland has a total population of more than 10,000, and less than a few hundred people have escaped, and now it is still in ruins, and the Church of Fortune has launched a sweep against the demons. However, the bad luck is that there is actually a Baro Flame Demon there, so he has not yet recaptured the land, and the Baro Flame Demon seems to have used it as his base camp in the material plane. Recent intelligence suggests that Barlow appears to have opened the Abyss Portal. There is a steady stream of low-level demons descending.
Baror's Flame Demons are all demons that are close to the lord level.
If it really intends to make trouble in the material plane, it will not be difficult to catch thousands of demonic cannon fodder from the bottomless abyss.
If you want to defeat the powerful Barorfire Demon, I'm afraid you still need the Sage elect of the Church of Wealth to take action.
High-ranking voters can also enter the Sage form!
Because Sauron is reluctant to waste his divinity, he does not give his only elect (a half-elf girl) how much divinity value, if the given divinity value and divine power value are enough, he can also cultivate a sage-level elector.
As soon as the news circulated.
The panic caused by the demon invasion seems to have decreased a lot all of a sudden. In its place is a relatively active state of readiness.
Oh!
It turns out that it wasn't just the city of Modo that was attacked by demons! It turns out that other places have also been attacked by demons!
We've lost a lot less.
Not only was the demon's attack completely defeated, but the civilians were basically unharmed!
Oh!
No wonder His Excellency Sauron suddenly ordered to enter a state of readiness, it turns out that the Great Excellency had already foreseen this situation!
With the foresight of Lord Sauron, this crisis should be able to survive safely, right?
Oh!
I heard that the mainland has suffered heavy losses!
I'll just say, how can the nobles in those places be comparable to Modo City, if they are attacked by demons, it would be strange if they didn't suffer heavy losses!
I heard that the town hall is enacting a conscription bill! Shall we also sign up?
………………
That's how interesting the human mind is.
If only the city of Modo is attacked by demons, I am afraid that the city will enter a period of decay all of a sudden, and many merchants and civilians may choose to flee here.
But!
Knowing that it was not only the city of Mordor that was attacked by demons. Other places were also attacked by demons, and the losses were much worse than those of Modo City.
All of a sudden, the people were silent.
Not only did the population of Modo not flee, but many merchants even quietly transferred their property to Modo.
Troubled times are coming.
Before the chaos erupted, people with even the slightest foresight realized that only strong enough force could guarantee the safety of their lives and property. Therefore, during this time, many merchants from other places tried to obtain the household registration of Modo City through bribery, donations, friendship with officials, etc., and then transfer their property here justifiably. The first phase of the census in the city of Modor has ended, and the population with official citizenship is less than 56,000.
Although the real population of Modo City has reached the scale of more than 100,000 people, the rest of the city can only be regarded as floating foreign population. The slave class in the local or mainland China, as well as the black households who sneak around to beg for a living.
Sauron did not intend to expand the size of the civic class. Because the rights of the citizen class also represent obligations.
At least for now, the people who can get citizenship are people with skills.
Sauron's iron-fisted rule kept order in the city of Mordor, and the demonic attack only made the atmosphere of the many elite legions that had not had an opponent for some time become tense from sloppy. The knights of Modo City have finally made a name for themselves, and in the tavern you can often encounter people boasting about their battles with demons, and the other legions who are secretly competing because they have not had time to participate in the battle, but many people are eager to try and hope for a chance to fight, and then justifiably tell those braggart cavalry that defeating demons is nothing.
You can do it, I can do it, I can do it!
The factions of the city of Mordor have taken shape. There have been a lot of secret rivalries going on, and because of Sauron's power, there is no excessive struggle.
This kind of thing is also not allowed.
Otherwise, Sauron doesn't mind another Great Purge, for Sauron's cruel methods. Many of the pirate leaders are well aware.
………………
Meanwhile.
Sauron, thousands of kilometers away on the mainland, had finally arrived.
A lot has happened these days with the Goddess of Magic, some of which cannot be elaborated, and even some of the hidden things cannot even be mentioned. The world of the gods is full of unknown mysteries, and some of the hidden secrets Sauron communicates directly with the goddess of magic through consciousness, and he does not even use a word of language. After leaving the Misty Forest, they headed towards the City of Knowledge, the territory of the God of Knowledge. It has the largest library on the physical plane.
They stayed there for three days, and then Sauron and the Goddess of Magic departed, leaving Ildis alone to check some important information.
Ildis has been in a bad mood lately.
Ever since he left the Misty Forest, he had felt much more distant from Midnight Lady, and while he might have been a little mean, it seemed like he had lost much of a relationship with Midnight Lady.
The calm legendary witch suddenly became much colder towards him.
Although I will still point it out myself. However, Ildis noticed that Midnight Lady rarely smiled at him, instead smiling more and more often when confronted by Sonywizard (Sauron's pseudonym).
He felt as if he had been marginalized.
On a few occasions, he vaguely noticed that Wizard Sony was discussing something important with Midnight Lady, and immediately stopped when he saw him, but still made eye contact.
This discovery made him feel extremely depressed, and he felt that he had lost something very important.
But.
Fortunately, he has recently grown by leaps and bounds, and is on the verge of becoming a legendary wizard. At the same time, he also obtained the news of the artifact [Archmage's Staff].
Ildis felt that if he entered the realm of legends, he might be able to regain the favor of the Midnight Lady.
In his opinion, although the strength of the Midnight Lady is unfathomable, it should still be in the realm of the Legendary Spellcaster, and if he also enters the Legendary Realm, they will be in a relatively equal position with each other, so that he may be able to justifiably pursue the Midnight Lady.
This lady is not only mysterious but also beautiful.
Ildis himself didn't know why, but he felt that he should be closer to her.
Pity.
This idea received a serious setback when he came to the City of Knowledge. Because Ildis accidentally found that Midnight Lady entered, entered Sony's room in the middle of the night, and then did not come out until the early hours of the next morning.
This discovery struck Ildiston like a lightning strike. The whole person was stunned for a long time, and then returned to the room in frustration.
Until now, he didn't understand why Wizard Sony had suddenly become so intimate with Midnight Lady.
Could it be because of what happened in the Misty Forest?
Ildis didn't know.
He didn't even know what Midnight Lady had done all night in Sony's room, but he could tell that Sony's magic was getting stronger.
No doubt!
While receiving the guidance of the Midnight Lady himself, the Wizard of Sony also received great benefits from the Midnight Lady.
That's a benefit that can't be described in words.
Occasionally, when he encountered Sony's wizard casting spells, Ildis even felt that the other party's magic skills and comprehension were even higher than his own. Even if the other party doesn't even seem to have touched the door of the legendary wizard.
Ildis was very frustrated.
However, he was not a person who was easily frustrated after all, so he immediately devoted all his energy to the study of spells after both of them had something to do.
Before Lady Midnight leaves, he has learned about the mysteries of the City of Learning.
If he succeeds in mastering and mastering it, it is inevitable that he will enter the realm of legends. Rather, the Midnight Lady also entrusted him with a task before leaving.
Ildis thought that if he could do it, he might be able to gain a lot of favor with the Midnight Lady.
Maybe.
He was able to take this a step further, as the more he interacted with Midnight, the more he understood the web, and sometimes Ildis even suspected that Midnight Lady was a high-level legendary spellcaster like the Eye of the Northland.
Such a character.
Even in the City of Wizards, it has an absolutely lofty status, which is of great benefit to his future.
As for what Sauron got from the Midnight Lady, it was a secret that could not be said. (To be continued......)
