"Except for Bole Valley, my favorite is here, which is really refreshing, and of course, the scenery of the Arad continent deserves to be ranked first. Vertex "

As she followed Katie forward, Casillas the Fourth Apostle Conqueror looked around and said in a loud voice.

"Because there's light, there's light, there's warmth, there's plants, and the air is fresh."

Without waiting for Katie to respond, Herder on the side was the first to speak, she held a staff taller than herself, and her posture when she walked forward had an indescribable beauty, her majesty was quite strong, and she belonged to the kind of existence that people knew at a glance that it was extraordinary.

Katie nodded, and in front of the two of them, she had nothing to hide: "Thanks to the assistance of Master Luke, the maker, Central Park has been able to keep running." ”

"Luke the Maker, ho, we're here for him this time."

Herder sneered, she stopped, and the three of them were now under a lush tree, in the courtyard outside Katie's residence, and Herder did not mean to enter the building, but sat down at the wooden table under the tree.

"I've noticed something wrong lately, too."

Katie's face was solemn, Luke's abnormal movements, she noticed a little, but she didn't suspect Luke, after all, there is no reason for this, but if it is really Luke's influence, it can explain it clearly, why the power of light suddenly became so strong.

For unknown reasons, Luke the Maker has awakened, and he is not reconciled to the current status quo and wants to change all this by his own means.

Like the former Tyrannosaurus King Bakar, he tried to rule the Demon Realm and the Arad Continent through his own methods, which is something that Casillas and I only found out.

He hid deeply, deeply, and had been hiding his actions with amnesia, and now he was finally unable to hide his plot.

Casillas and I were on our way to the Silent City, so we stopped by here to take a look. ”

Herder told Katie about his findings very simply, and Katie stood up as soon as she sat down, with a look of disbelief on her face: "What, how could it be?" ”

"yes, even you don't believe it, the maker Luke hid it really well, and I didn't suspect him at first.

Recently, there have been more and more people missing from all over the Demon Realm, and I didn't pay attention to it, because this place in the Demon Realm has always been like this, the weak eat the strong, and it is really normal for someone to go missing.

It wasn't until someone I knew was also affected that I finally noticed something was wrong and found this in the area where he disappeared. ”

Herder's palm flipped over, and there was a pitch-black smoke-like thing in his hand, like smoke, and like a black smoking liquid.

"This power!"

Katie was extremely sensitive to the forces of nature, and when she looked at the black object, she immediately felt a sense of disgust, as if this was the most evil thing in the world, an existence capable of destroying light and all things.

"This is a derivative of the Black Nightmare, something that existed in the Boundless Universe at the beginning of the Primordial Period, I don't know how the maker Luke released this thing, and now this kind of thing has spread all over the Demon Realm and the Arad continent, and it is unknown whether it has spread to other planes.

He has not stopped doing this now, and if it is not stopped, everyone affected by this breath will fall into a long sleep, and eventually fall into a place called the Nightmare Plane, from which they will never be able to escape.

I came back from the Nightmare Plane before, where everything was crazy and Luke's actions had to be stopped, and while the Apostles couldn't really make a move, and he must have made enough guards to protect himself, I still had to go to the Silent City.

I believe that not only did I discover Luke, but others must have discovered his actions as well, especially the Arad continent, where Luke is absorbing the light and will definitely have a great impact on that world.

He was killing himself, hiding in the tower like a dragon to be slain by a dragon slayer in a legend. ”

Herder's voice was calm, as if he was recounting something that had already happened, Casillas closed his eyes slightly, not paying attention to it, what he needed was fighting, fighting against masters, the kind that could hone his strength.

"I see!"

Katie took a deep breath and closed her eyes in pain, it was a situation she didn't want to see with Luke, Luke had a high reputation in the demon world, he was a highly respected existence, and if he died, there would be many, many people who would be sad and painful because of it.

"After I'm gone, you need to be vigilant, the black nightmare is invisible and insubstantial, it can easily affect anyone, and now I don't have a good way to deal with it, I can only prevent it in advance, the light can temporarily block its penetration, you have to take care, let's go."

Heard didn't stay in Central Park for long, she had to continue to go to Silent City to stop Luke's actions, Luke's actions have seriously affected the safety of thousands of creatures in the Demon Realm, and now that Herder has found out, he must not ignore all this.

"Please, take care."

Seeing the two of them go away, Katie retracted her gaze and looked worried, this was really not good news, she was worried, worried that even Herder, the supreme being, could not help the black nightmare, would bring even worse effects to this already troubled world.

Nightmare plane?

It's horrible!

"Sister Katie!"

After Heard and Casillas left, the others who had been waiting were finally able to get close to Katie, and a group of summoners, both young and old, approached Katie and surrounded her, chattering about what had happened to Katie.

"Don't worry, everyone, everything is fine, Lord Heard and Lord Casillas have traveled through here, and if there is any crisis, they will also come forward to solve it."

Katie turned around, looked at everyone present with a smile on her face, and said in a gentle voice, her voice had a magic that could make people settle down, and people who were a little nervous also calmed down after hearing Katie's words.

"Niwu, come on."

After a while, when everyone dispersed, Katie called out to Niwu, the founder of the battle mage, who had been to Silent City some time ago, and Katie only found out after the other party returned, and at this moment, she could only ask Niwu about Silent City and Luke.

"Sister Katie, what's the matter?"

For unknown reasons, Niwu walked with a war spear, and Pai followed behind Newu, holding the cold frost snowman in her arms, she was a young mage that Niwu was in charge of, her origin was unknown, and few people knew Pai's identity.

"You told me before that you went to the Silent City, and even went to the Celestial Realm, and met the Apostle Antun, who turned into an island, so tell me more about Luke, the Maker, and the Silent City."

Katie looked up into the distance with a sad face, the wind and sand in the Wind Zone were blowing against the barrier set up at the boundary of Central Park, and the Wind Zone that had been expanding was also blocked thanks to the Witch's Forest and the outer barriers, otherwise the yellow sand swept across Central Park, and everything here would be buried in the sand.

"Okay Sister Katie."

Ni Wu didn't know why, she had made it clear before, after returning to the Demon Realm from the Celestial Realm along the Silent City, she had just turned back to Central Park, which was the most reassuring place for her, and Pai liked it very much.

"That's true!"

When Niwu recounted what she had seen, Katie's heart couldn't help but mention, combining what Niwu and Herder had said before, Katie could understand what the current situation was like, and this incident was too abrupt for Katie to accept.

"It's okay, you and Pai go to rest, it's getting late."

After Ni Wu finished speaking, Katie restrained her inner worries and smiled at the two of them, she is the backbone of everyone, she is an existence that can affect everyone's emotions, no matter what, she can't show too worried expressions in front of others, because that will make more people worry and sad.

"I don't know what's going on, but Sister Katie, Nimo will always be guarding Central Park and everyone, so please don't be too upset."

Although Ni Wu is not very old, she has seen a wide range of places, she has traveled to many places over the years, she has experienced a lot of things, her experience has grown greatly, and Katie's hidden worries can be hidden from others, and she will definitely not be able to hide them.

"Sister Katie, Pye will protect everyone too, please don't worry, okay?"

Pai responded to Niwu with a crisp child's voice, she picked up the big frost snowman in her arms and handed it to Katie, this is her favorite playmate, the frost snowman condensed by elemental power has vitality, except for not being able to speak, it is indeed a very good playmate.

"Don't worry, how can I ask you, a little guy, to protect everyone, I'm still here, it's really fine."

Katie has a gentle smile on her face, no wonder she is the backbone of everyone, just Katie's temper can make her extremely respected by others, in this place in Central Park, Katie is everyone's big sister, everyone likes and respects her, even if she is no longer a lawless little guy, she is honest in front of Katie.

Stroking the Frost Snowman and Pai's forehead, Katie motioned for Niwu to leave, she wanted to be alone for a while, the news she learned today was too big, she had to think carefully about how to deal with it.

Silent City.

After occupying the King's Library and eliminating the Guardian of Curturo, the Joint Investigation Team continued its exploration with a little refinement.

The front-line commander of the Celestial Realm side is Hailan of the Coast Garrison, and on the other side is Barn, the leader of the Iron Wolf Knights, in addition to the participation of the Adventurer Alliance, as for the Violent Search and Capture Group, they have not been in contact with the Joint Investigation Team since that day, even if they see it from a distance, both sides have passed by.

The space below the King's Library is getting bigger and bigger, which means that everyone has now come to the lower and wider areas of the Silent City, and if it weren't for the fact that you could still see the edge of the tower, no one would really think of such a huge area as the inside of the tower.

After crossing the King's Library, looking out of the window, you can already see the Demon Realm Square with lights shining, of course, there are still the most dark places, and there are still very few areas with lights on.

Looking up at the sky from the position of the King's Library, there is no longer any way to see the ocean of the Heavenly Realm and the warships moored on the ocean, which means that when they enter here, they have already entered the Demon Realm through the rift of another dimension and entered the Demon Realm area, how to get to the Demon Realm and find the hideout of the Apostle Luke has become the most concerned thing for everyone in the joint investigation team now.

'Annihilation Factory'.

This is the name given to the lower area of the King's Library by the members of the joint investigation, and when everyone came down, what caught their eyes was the mountain of mechanical guard remains, the whereabouts of the mechanical creatures that had been dragged away by the mechanical guards in the battle, everyone now knew about it, except for some of them that were transferred to the energy furnace, the others were originally here.

Here, the members of the exploration see how Luke disposes of the useless remains of the mechanical guards, dismantling the chips and motherboards, leaving only the remains of the steel body, which will be grabbed by the giant mechanical arm and landed on the assembly line that seems to run endlessly, and after a dozen processes and huge machine transformations, it will turn into square metal objects, and finally disappear along the assembly line.

"What are these things for?"

Looking at the metal cubes on the assembly line that had shrunk into a ball after compression, someone asked.

"It must be the manufacturer who continues to make raw materials for the machine guards, do you understand the use of waste."

"It's really convenient, it looks more advanced than the factory in the Eaton Industrial Zone, and you can't even see a single figure in the whole area except for the machinery, is this a machinery manufacturing machine? Aren't manufacturers afraid of machines being damaged and striking? ”

"Who knows what the evil apostle thinks, maybe there is a spare, let's move on, these things will inevitably be useful when they are produced, and the lower level is estimated to be the place where the mechanical guards are made, pay attention to vigilance, there will inevitably be a vicious battle waiting."

"Yes!"

After informing the headquarters left behind, the joint investigation team continued to set off, and as everyone walked forward, what they didn't expect was that when they entered the annihilation factory, there was a faint black smoke wafting in the air, because the presence of black smoke was so low that neither the detector nor the joint investigation members noticed it.

On the lower floor of the 'Annihilation Factory', the members of the joint investigation saw the 'Birth Factory', and the metal cubes that came up from the assembly line would eventually enter a huge machine, turn into various parts and flow out, and complete the assembly along the assembly line.

At the end of the assembly line, an endless line of mechanical guards stood silently, initially startling the members of the joint investigation, only to breathe a sigh of relief when they discovered that the mechanical creatures were just cold steel and had no chips installed to fight.

"Find the source of power and close the assembly line, this is the order of the command."

After communicating with Jurgen, several of Hailan's cronies led the members of the Coast Guard to disperse in the huge 'Birth Factory' to find the power source of various machines, preparing to shut them down one by one.

"It always feels a little wrong here."

I don't know who said a word in the communication channel of the joint investigation members, and this sentence was echoed by many people, and many people felt this way after coming to the 'birth factory'.

Although all the things that come into view are assembly lines and various machinery, but everyone has a feeling of being spied on, no matter how to find it, many people with keen perception have been having their hairs stand on end, but they don't know where this sense of crisis comes from.

"Stop talking, let's go."

The response was followed by a rude reprimand, and the speaker could be heard in his voice that he was angry.

"It won't be scared, if you're afraid, hurry up and apply for retreat, and someone will come for you."

"It's just that cowards are everywhere, and teaming up with such people is really a headache."

"Otherwise, let's just split up and form two teams, there seem to be too many cowards."

"Who's to say it isn't?"

I don't know when, all kinds of skirmishes broke out in various parts of the team after everyone entered the 'Birth Factory', at first it was a verbal conflict, and soon after the conflict intensified, turning into a physical conflict, and by the time Hailan, who was in charge of the command, realized that something was wrong, there were already gunshots in the communication channel.

"Mission terminated! All back! Retreat to where I am, repeat, mission terminated! All back! ”

Hailan stomped his feet irritably, and he didn't take the voice in the communicator seriously at first, but then he found that the situation was getting worse and worse, and then he understood that there was a force majeure coming, and I don't know how it happened, but now the mood of the team members is obviously wrong, how can there be so many quarrels and accusations in the team channel in the past.

Maybe Hai Lan's loud shout took effect, and the team channel was much less vocal, and soon one of the members returned to the entrance area where Hai Lan was located, Hai Lan's face was gloomy as water, and many of the returning members had traces of fighting, and some of them were even injured, with gunshot wounds, and some team members have not returned yet.

"Miu, you're injured too? What's going on? ”

After Mi Wu, one of his powerful subordinates, returned, Hai Lan's face became even more ugly, Mi Wu's team was obviously injured, and everyone had a sad look on their faces, and they were all terrified and fearful when they looked around.

"Heiko, Hecker, he's led people to attack us."

Miu had a sad face, and the attack came quite suddenly, so that it ended in a short time, and if it weren't for Hailan's order to retreat, Miu would have almost died inside.

"What about Heiko? Get the hell out of here! ”

Hai Lan was furious, this hasn't started to fight the enemy yet, his own people have started to fight first, is this worth it? During the war, if you attack your own people, the basic consequences are to be shot on the spot, and no one can bear the bullets from behind.

"Captain, I'm here."

Around the corner not far away, Heiko poked his head out with a few members of the Coast Garrison, who had just arrived, but they didn't dare to show up, their hearts were mixed, there were fears, self-blame, and chagrin, and they didn't know how they could suddenly attack their former comrades and shoot them.

"Get out of here, or I'll be shot."

Hai Lan breathed a sigh of relief, if Hai Ke led people to defect, that kind of situation was really not what Hai Lan wanted to see, he was also quite puzzled, there was no reason at all, which tendon in Hai Ke's head was twitching, so he would suddenly attack his companions?

"Captain, I didn't know what was wrong just now, but I suddenly became angry, and when I heard Miu speak, I got angry, and I just wanted to get in.

Don't fight, don't fight, captain, you listen to me, I really didn't mean to.

I really don't want to hurt Miu, it was an accident, don't you think, the situation is too abnormal? A lot of people are out of control, not just me. ”

Heiko led people to Hailan with a cower, no matter what, he still had to return to the team, otherwise it would mean defection, needless to say, the fate of the deserters was very miserable, not to mention that now people are still in the dangerous Silent City, where to defect, there is no possibility of defecting here.

After being beaten by Hailan, Heike still covered his head and finished speaking, Hailan looked at Miu and the others who had been bandaged by the medical soldiers, gasped for breath and immediately issued an order: "All staff, evacuate from the upper library, evacuate immediately!" ”
