349. Re-entry into the Empire
"Sir, someone has entered the realm of pollution again."
Noreen sent a message to Li Nuo:
"I've placed a dozen or so machines on the fourth layer of the Floating Island for surveillance. About half a minute ago, in the southeast corner and due west of the fourth layer of the Floating Island, the figure of a wizard appeared, which seemed to be the team of the Pure Light Court and Hottamus. ”
Li Nuo is cracking the alchemy gate that goes underground.
Noreen shared her magical vision with him.
The team of wizards in the southeast, dressed in white robes with gold trim and wearing gold-white masks.
This is the team of the Pure Light Court.
Bell and his Bo Yas, whom Leno had seen earlier, were among them, and Yas was still the leader of the team.
Li Nuo used deconstruction to see that the Pure Light Court team had received an order from Jay Spade to come to the polluted realm to inquire about information.
If possible, try to build a magical fortress within the Pollution Realm. Doing so will save the Pure Light Court the trouble of negotiating with the Golden Federation in order to be stationed in the Convergence City.
The team due west comes from Hotams, and its membership structure is a bit more complex.
Wizards of Nature, Wizards of Shape, Wizards of Death, and Wizards of the Depths, a few each.
Just as the Death Church was in a state of euphoria when they saw the Grey Wilderness, the Death Wizards of Hottamus were shocked by the aura of death here.
The aura was so strong that the Death Wizard couldn't help but start setting up a magic circle, trying to use the magic circle to collect death energy in large quantities.
In contrast, the wizards of the other factions were much calmer, and some even expressed disgust.
Because of the actions of the Death Wizard, the voices within Hortamus's team were not harmonious, and they inevitably fell into a situation of infighting.
"Sir, do you need me to stop them?" Noreen asked.
Li Nuo looked at the team of Hortamus who had stopped moving, and then at the team of the Pure Light Court who were exploring the floating island layer by layer.
In the distance, there are vague figures, which should be wizards of other forces.
李诺 says:
"No, Noreen. Both teams have the ability to dissect the illusionary camouflage of the automaton, and there's no way we're going to stop everyone. Remove the wives watching them and place them all near the spire. ”
"Yes, sir." Noreen responded.
Li Nuo held the rune rod and drew the final strokes on the alchemy gate.
The four-colored elemental light flashed by, and the floodgates blocking the way disappeared in a flash.
A dim hallway slanting down appeared in front of Li Nuo.
It wasn't until this alchemy gate disappeared that Li Nuo felt the breath of the heir of the Blood Sun God Seal.
Blood-red threads floated up from below, mingling in the purple-black mist around them, weaving out a few lines of text.
Li Nuo glanced at the words, raised his hand, and dispersed them with a wave of qi.
It's nothing more than the heir of the Blood Sun God Seal begging for mercy.
This alien sky pollution product sensed the disappearance of the essence of the corpse gatherer's corpse, but he didn't know how Li Nuo did it.
In its heart, Li Nuo, a mysterious wizard, had surpassed the level of a wizard and had come into contact with a realm that the heirs of the Blood Sun God Seal could not even imagine.
"Who the hell are you, wizard?"
The heir weaves the letter again and asks.
Li Nuo passed by the text, and walked into the depths of the ground without stopping.
"I see a mist in you, not any human I know, but you have destroyed the corpse essence of the corpse gatherer..."
Another line of text stood in front of Li Nuo.
Li Nuo walked through with an indifferent expression.
"Your Excellency, what is the origin of this Blood Sun Divine Seal?" Li Nuo asked in his heart.
The Assassination Angel was silent for a few seconds and said:
"Oh, a lord-level blood demon with a slight achievement."
"Blood Demon..."
Assassination Angel Says:
"In one of the older plane years, the core of the 'demon' plane snatched the fire of Saint Dilan from the core of the 'Sun' plane. At that time, the Blood Demon who destroyed the Sun with blood and killing was the current Blood Sun God Seal. After destroying the sun, he made the essence core of the sun into his own divine seal, so as to spread blood blight to all parts of the universe with the light of the stars. ”
"I didn't expect the Blood Sun God Seal to have such an awesome past..."
Li Nuo sighed and asked:
"And how did its plane year come to an end?"
"When the power of the Blood Demon destroys one star after another, the starry sky will be darkened, and the power of the 'shadow' will grow rapidly, eventually engulfing the culprit who makes the starry sky lose its light." Said the Assassination Angel.
Li Nuo nodded, understanding the meaning.
It should be the core of the "Shadow" plane, which rose at the end of the "Demon" plane year and stole the fire of Saint Dilan.
It's really a trade-off process.
Moving to the end of the hallway, Li Nuo saw a narrow basement.
The basement floor is littered with tarnished soul gems.
The Bloody Sun God Seal Heir supported his orb with a few tentacles, barely hovering in the air.
It blocked the Pollution Realm Ritual Circle behind it, placing its tentacles on the nodes of the circle, making it look like it was about to destroy the circle.
But in fact, this is not destroying the circle, but completely activating the power in the circle, rapidly expanding the pollution field in a short period of time, and engulfing the urban area on the ground.
"If you kill me, I promise, I will have the lower part of the Gathering City buried with me before I die."
The heir weaves words and threatens Li Nuo, who is close at hand.
"Hum—"
A series of death rays swooped down on the heir of the Blood Sun Seal.
"Puff puff puff..."
Dense black sparks and blood stains exploded on the heir's orb.
At the last moment of his life, the heir vigorously hooked the energy nodes on the ritual circle, adjusting the energy flow rate from close to zero to the maximum.
"Buzz—"
Several more death rays were fired.
They bypassed the withering Blood Sun Divine Seal and pointed to the ritual circle behind it, landing precisely on a few inconspicuous parts.
"Click, click..."
The ritual circle made of alchemy alloy looked indestructible, but it quickly cracked under these few rays of death, shattering into hundreds of small pieces in the blink of an eye.
"Why are you... Know... The crux of the circle..."
The Heir of the Blood Sun God Seal weaved the last words with words, and then exploded with a bang, completely dead.
"Who the hell are you..."
Li Nuo did not say a word from beginning to end.
The system sent a message that triggered passive deconstruction, and Li Nuo had no intention of looking at it for the time being.
After killing the weakened Blood Sun God Seal and destroying the ritual circle, the space around him began to shake violently.
It's not the whirlwind of an earthquake, it's a ripple in the space, as if something is about to lift the transparent curtain and walk out behind the curtain.
The polluted areas are about to be forcibly shut down.
Before that, the "Gironz Power" that filled the inside of the spire had disappeared first.
Li Nuo used the "Wizard's Hand" to collect all the unused soul orbs in the ritual circle.
According to conservative estimates, there are at least 300 million soul energy points left unused in these soul orbs.
This income alone can already make Li Nuo's blood earn.
He performed the "Death Flight" and traveled from the underground to the outside of the tower.
Noreen manipulates the Machines to converge.
The machine spirit flew into the magic pocket, and the magic bag was copied by Li Nuo and hung on his waist.
A faint torch light emerged, and Dinas appeared beside Lino.
With a flash of fire, the two teleported away in the ripples and cracks of space.
After they left, in about ten seconds, several figures dragging the flying tail flame hurried up from the floating island below, and saw the black spire standing in the center of the floating island on the top floor.
"The spatial vibration is strongest there, and the ritual circle of the Pollution Domain should be in that direction."
"The ritual circle has been destroyed, and the spatial vibration is proof of this."
"Who got ahead of us and destroyed the ritual circle? Is it the Templar Alchemist of the Golden Federation? ”
Several wizards from the Pure Light Court were suspended in the air, staring at each other.
Far away from them, the wizards of Hottamus also looked confused.
Before the two sides could meet, the scene of the polluted field suddenly disappeared.
In an instant, the Pure Light Wizards were no longer in front of the purple silica fields of the silica giants, but a dark corridor of rifts.
"Captain, could it be the person who wrote that mysterious text and forcibly closed the polluted realm?"
Bell asked, leaning over to his own Berberas.
Yas's face was unkind, and he seemed to have some disgust in his heart at the mysterious man's closing of the polluted realm.
With a wave of his arm, he led the group upward.
…
…
On the other side, about 80 kilometers south of the city.
The figures of Leno and Dinas appeared here in the flickering firelight.
The two of them didn't stop, they directly cast an illusion, disappeared into shape, and flew towards the Blade Mountain Range to the south in a stealth state.
Halfway to the flight, the two received letters from the professor.
Professor Erica and Professor Lamp conveyed the same message, both related to the closure of the polluted areas of the Convergence City.
According to the two, the closure of the polluted area caused a violent reaction in the Umno Council and the Wizards' Forward Council.
Several wizarding forces that have already prepared their teams, but have not yet had time to enter the Convergence City, want to find out the mysterious person who closed the Pollution Domain.
It stands to reason that everyone should point the finger at the Alchemy Sanctuary, which rules the Golden Federation, but the truth is far from that.
Because according to the information from the Pure Light Tribunal and Hottamus, there are many, many aberrations in that polluted field.
What the Alchemy Sanctuary wanted most was the aberration, and the universal metal powder produced by the aberration.
From the perspective of interests, the Alchemy Sanctuary should be the last party that wants the polluted realm to be shut down, even though the place where the polluted realm appears is just below the Convergence City.
So who is shutting down the polluting area?
The Umno Council has been arguing over this.
Li Nuo didn't want to deal with them.
He was now only thinking about entering the Tatis Empire and looking for traces of the "Dead Steel".
After flying more than 200 kilometers to the south, the outline of the Blade Mountain Range gradually became clear, like a huge silhouette under the dark night.
Tiny dots of light shimmered from a cave on the north side of the mountain range, striking in the dark night.
Leno threw the "Tracking Marker" and "Psychic Vision" towards the place, and flew over with Dinas.
The flashing point of light is actually a strong light, and its flashing frequency represents the connector signal.
And the person who connected with Li Nuo was none other than Merster, who was still serving as the acting commander of MI2.
It's just that Merster has changed from a three-ring metal wizard to a second-ring leyline wizard.
After Hotamus closed the Academy of Metals, he joined the Leyline Pillars and rose through the ranks from scratch.
It was a process full of hardships, but fortunately, after the previous cultivation experience, this time the progress was relatively fast.
"Long time no see, Jarvis..."
Merst wore an earthy brown rock mask and greeted in a complicated tone.
Leno and Dinas covered their faces with masks and kept a low profile at all times.
He nodded slightly at Merster and briefly introduced Dinas beside him.
Merster's mother is also a reborn witch, and he has long heard of the companion witch beside Li Nuo, and he is very calm at this time.
Merst pointed sideways to the tomb behind him and said:
"Let's go, let's talk in another place."
The three of them stepped into the tunnels of the tomb and weaved through the mountains of the Blade Mountains.
Along the way, he didn't meet anyone else, and it was clearly a route chosen by Merst.
After entering the fortress in the middle of the mountain, Dinas was arranged to rest in a secret dormitory, while Leno and Merst stepped into the conference room for secret conversations.
"You suddenly came to me this time, it's not as simple as traveling and catching up, right?" Merst asked:
"Say, what's there to help with?"
Since the Pillar of the Leylines was stationed in the Tatis Empire, the Empire's closed situation has improved somewhat, but if you want to understand the movements within the Empire as an outsider, you still have to find the right people.
Merster was the perfect candidate.
Leno sat down in a chair across from Merster and lifted his hood:
"There's something I really need your help with. I've accepted Professor Erica's mission to investigate the use of thermal weapons by the undead. ”
"Uh" Merst was stunned:
"It's as simple as that?"
"Yes, it's as simple as that."
Li Nuo flashed his wizard crest, and the three bars on it represented his identity as a three-ring wizard:
"This was my travel mission before I was promoted to the Fourth Ring. Of course, not the whole task. I'm also going to the front line to record the undead fighting with thermal weapons. ”
Merst thought for a moment, pulled open the drawer, fumbled through it, and pulled out a heavy file bag.
"There's MI3 research in there." Merster placed the file bag in front of Linuo.
After Li Nuo thanked him, he used the "wizard's hand" to open the file bag and take out the manuscript inside.
Merst said on the side:
"The first phenomenon of undead creatures using thermal weapons was about half a year ago. A low-ranking army of 100 men, while cleaning a small tomb, encountered a grave corpse soldier who could use a pistol. Since then, similar phenomena have emerged. Until now, there have been many undead in almost every tomb who can use guns and grenades. ”
Merst lit a cigarette for herself, and said as she smoked:
"Undead creatures like this that can attack armies with hot weapons, we call them undead soldiers. They may have been converted from dead Imperial soldiers. ”
Li Nuo pondered and asked:
"I've heard that some of the emperor's children have defected to the Necromantic Sect?"
Merst shrugged slightly:
"It's a bad thing. Yes, it's another such thing. ”
"And what happened before or after the undead soldiers?" Li Nuo asked again.
Merst rubbed his chin:
"These two things basically happened at the same time. Let me think... It should have been after the appearance of the first undead soldier that there was the first emperor child who defected to the Necronomicon Sect. ”
Merst asks:
"Do you suspect that these traitors cooperated with the Necromantic Sect to develop undead soldiers?"
"There is indeed a speculation." Li Nuo said.
Müstert lit the ashtray twice:
"I thought so too, and sent someone to investigate, but nothing came of it. But since you're here, just take a look at these reports for me, there are some things I haven't been able to understand yet. After all, I don't have much research in death magic. ”
As he spoke, Merster pulled out another file bag from a drawer.
Thanks for the subscription and monthly pass!
