370. Derivative Turmoil
"Why is it the Shadow Executioner, why is this happening?!"
Metal Progenitor Dragon Tulsali took possession of Paith Tinda's body, and at this moment it was still suspended above Resuscitation City.
Through the Iron Curtain, which spread to the seashore, it saw the purple-gray figure carrying the treasure chest.
Although the other party immediately activated the deep sea fog after noticing his existence, successfully preventing his tracking, Tulsali still recognized the other party's origin at the first time.
That's right, nine times out of ten, it's the Shadow Executioner.
This was the answer Tursali did not expect.
It has envisioned several images of thieves.
For example, a super-saint wizard who has cultivated powerful wild magic in the inner starry sky. There are a few super-saint wizards who specialize in the fields of illusion and psychic spells, and they have concocted wild magic that Tulsali also doesn't want to encounter.
Of course, "not wanting to touch" doesn't mean that Tulsali is afraid of these wild magic.
Wild magic itself is said to be able to increase power by investing energy, but in fact, this way of strengthening spells, Thalsali has a way to deal with it.
It simply doesn't want to be confronted head-on with a super-saint wizard, so that the other group knows about its existence, that's all.
The other thieves that Tulsali expected were the assassination of the Angels and the Lord of Shadows, who were members of the Star Palace.
It placed the Shadow Executioner at the bottom of the spectrum, because the other party's position was too far away from the inner starry sky, and it was so remote that it would take nearly 500 human years for the Tulsali dragon to find the exact location of the Shadow Executioner.
But such an existence in the most marginal area of the universe sent his own doppelganger into the inner starry sky...
Tulsali looked up at the stars.
It was able to confirm that there were no stars associated with the Shadow Executioner.
This means that the Shadow Executioner has not "rooted" in the inner starry sky, assisting wizards and opening up sub-planes.
It didn't take much guesswork for Tulsali to imagine that the Shadow Executioner had entered the inner starry sky by "smuggling", just like the group of Dead Steel soldiers who appeared in the Necronomicon.
This way of entering the inner starry sky was completely unworkable in the past when the Star God, Gironz, and Celenti jointly managed the Star Palace Barrier.
But now is different from the past, the Star Palace barrier has become a hole full of holes, as long as you have the ability, anyone can drill into it.
"When I get rid of Nerefar (White Dragon), I have to find a way to repair the barrier as soon as possible, lest my subsequent plans be interrupted by guys from the alien sky and the wasteland..."
Tulsali took one last look at the surface of the sea obscured by the fog of the deep sea, and then dispersed the transparent iron curtain, terminating the skill.
The loss of 3 billion soul energy could be a catastrophe for other dragons, but Tulsali would not be completely disadvantaged by this.
It has its own method of quickly harvesting soul energy.
Only, it takes time.
3 billion soul energy is a year's worth of accumulation.
If it can't get the stolen energy back, it will take another year to do it.
Tulsali was filled with anger and incomprehension as he flew toward the city below.
It still couldn't figure out for a while, why did the Shadow Executioner come to get involved, just because he didn't want to resurrect his former owner?
"That's the only reason it seems."
Tulsali muttered to himself in the howling wind:
"It's you, Nerefar, who was able to contact the Shadow Executioner in the Desolate Sky in the inner starry sky."
"Whew-" The long wind passed through the garden corridor of the Pure Light Stronghold, and Thalsali returned to the place.
It had lifted its grip on Pith Tinda, giving control of its body back to the other party.
Paith Tinda didn't enter the house right away.
He stood for a moment in the garden where he could faintly hear Jay Spader's roar, talking to the powerful being within him.
"Yes, yes, sir, I will do so."
Paith Tinda bowed slightly and saluted Tulsali.
He took pen and paper out of his magic pocket and wrote the letter quickly.
After sending five letters in a row, he shifted his steps and walked towards the noisy room.
Jay Spader's high-pitched voice was heard, especially harsh in the silence of the night and the garden lights:
"What is the search circle, there is no response at all!! On that metal gem chest, I just arranged a high-powered positioning rune!! It is impossible for the positioning rune to fail!! How could the search circle not respond!! There must be something wrong with your operation!! ”
"Bring me the ripple scroll from the Energy Fluctuation Monitor! Hurry up! You guys must have carried it while you were on duty!! I didn't find out in time that there was an abnormality in the energy ripples! ”
"Damn!!"
(crackling noise)
"Why aren't there any abnormal energy fluctuations recorded on the ripple scrolls!! Did you secretly modify the ripples on it!! Face me, look at me, and accept my detection spell!! ”
As Path Tinda stepped through the courtyard gate, he saw Jay Spader, who had suffered a serious gaffe.
Controlled by a mysterious person, inexplicably lost the metal gem box, and under the intersection of the two incidents, Jay Spade has escaped his anger and completely lost his cultivation as an eight-ring pure light wizard in the past.
He couldn't wait to find out the thief, even if he couldn't catch the thief himself, he had to find the clues left by the other party as soon as possible.
However, all detection efforts were in vain.
Protective circle, no response.
Energy monitor, no anomalies.
The circle that tracked down the metal gem chest, but there was no response.
All of this made Jay Spade more and more devastated, as if he had seen his savings over the years go to waste.
He even cast his suspicious gaze on Paith Tinda, who had just entered the door.
If he's not mistaken, this guy disappeared after the gem chest was stolen, right?
If anyone knows the most about the defense of the Metal Gem Chest, it is Pais Tinda.
"Where have you been?!" Jay Spade barely restrained his anger and let out a suppressed roar at Path Tinda:
"Did you take advantage of our mess and secretly cooperate with the thieves to send the gem box out?! You..."
Jay Spade suddenly made any sound as if he had been clung to his throat.
Paith Tinda looked at him coldly, indifferently, and did not respond.
Jay Spader was like falling into an ice cave, completely unable to move, only feeling terrified of Pais Tinda from the bottom of his heart, and for a while a cold sweat broke out, and his body couldn't stop shaking.
The Pure Light wizards next to them felt strange when they saw the embarrassed appearance of their boss, but they didn't dare to say more.
The scene was suddenly silent.
The mission to break the dead silence is finally completed by a magical messenger.
Two urgent letters came to Jay Spader.
Jay Spade was relieved of the pressure and was able to move freely.
He tried to look away from Paith Tinda's direction, and looked down at the letters of the arrogant Inquisitor Paredes and the Elder Plunder.
About three minutes later.
Jay Spade's pale face was a little more bloody, as if he had found his heart.
In fact, the High Inquisitor and the Elder Plunder did not rebuke him in their letters, and did not even see any signs of punishment.
Jay Spade didn't have the extra brain space to think about why this was for the time being, but he was secretly glad that he wasn't dragged away immediately to be judged.
He froze, beckoned to the Pure Light wizards next to him, and began to give orders.
What he didn't know was that these orders actually came from Paith Tinda in front of him, or to be precise, Tulsali behind Paith Tinda.
"Following the orders of Elder Raider, I now need a trustworthy team to gather information for me about the wizards who have recently appeared around Resuscitation City..."
"You, you, and you, you go to the Leyline Pillars and tell them that I want to see the list of wandering wizards by noon tomorrow."
"Lamont, you've been here the longest, and you'll be left with the intelligence gathering of the Grey Wizard. By tomorrow evening at the latest, I'll find out which Grey wizards have been in Resuscitation City lately. ”
"Yes, sir."
The Wizards of the Pure Light, who received the order, turned to leave.
After stepping out of Jay Spade's sight, several people couldn't help but wipe the sweat from under their masks.
After the group of Pure Light wizards left, another letter came.
This letter gave Jay Spade a little more energy!
The Grand Inquisitor actually sent him 300 Pure Light Wizards for him to send!
Tomorrow will be the day they arrive.
The Grand Inquisitor has officially sent a letter to the Leyline Pillars, asking them to cooperate with Jay Spade in all of his investigations.
The reason used by the Grand Inquisitor was that an extremely important magic item had been lost in the Pure Light Court in the City of Recovery.
Due to the Pure Light Court's usual domineering style, the Leyline Pillars would not know what this thing was, but they still had to cooperate with the Pure Light Court with all their hearts.
Seeing that things were in order, Paith Tinda nodded slightly at Jay Spade and turned to his bedroom.
At the same time, on the other side of the ocean on Dianjin Island, the Metal Ancestor Dragon was conducting another operation at the Bald Gate, known as the "Heart of the World".
Bald's Gate is home to three magical ship factories.
Two of them are under the name of the Wealth Co-creation Association.
The third was sold to the Pure Light Court by the Fortune Co-Creation Association two years ago, and the magic ship factory has been closed to the public since a year ago.
It is relatively small in scale and can only repair or build one magic ship at a time.
At this time, the magic ship that originally belonged to Berkeley, the metal wizard of the Eight Rings, has become the only "customer" in this magic ship factory.
What outsiders don't know is that this magic ship has already been repaired, and a lot of things with a sense of science and technology have been added to it.
A year ago, Starfleet from the alien sky was shot down by the wizards of Unas Ring, and only one Great Bustard-class heavy transport ship survived.
The power furnace, inertial damper, accelerator and other core things on the transport ship were all taken away by the Pure Light Court for research.
The novelty that is currently appearing on the magic ship is the semi-technological and semi-magical ship equipment that has been transformed from the technological products of the Metal Creation Group in the Pure Light Court for more than a year.
They largely retain the exterior features of the tech side – an iron-grey metal casing, rivet-reinforced or monolithically molded, with a focus on simplicity and practicality.
But inside, it's powered by the power of magic.
Circles have replaced chips, magic chains have replaced circuits, palm-sized magic servants have replaced sensors...
The internal changes do not affect the operation and use of the equipment, which is a practice that the Pure Light Court is forced to adopt because there is no special material for the alien sky.
On the upper deck of a magical ship that is not accessible to non-Inquisitors, a ritual of communicating with the alien sky is underway.
There were no human figures at the ceremony, and there were no breathing creatures.
The ritual was performed by the on-site robotic arms controlled by an invisible force.
When the ritual circle was activated, the energy fluctuations were absorbed by the surrounding walls, and a deep cavity similar to a mirror appeared in the center of the circle.
Standing outside the ritual circle, looking into the hollow interior, there was a sprawling workshop littered with synthesized body parts.
A bald old man with gray hair is designing drawings at the craftsman's table in the workshop.
The appearance of the deep void can not only allow the existence inside the magic ship to see the situation on the other side, but also the person on the opposite side can also see the scene inside the magic ship.
The bald old man turned his head to look at the circular hollow that appeared by the wall, and humbly and respectfully bent down to salute:
"Sublime master, your chief biomimetic physiognomist salutes you."
The language used by the bald old man is that of the metal creation group, and the vocal tool is a voice device in the neck, not the vocal cords.
The voice of the metal progenitor, Tarsali, resounded from inside the magic ship:
"Give me another 3 billion primary lifeforms in the breeding room, and use the soul centrifuge to extract their unintelligent souls."
"Yes, master, I will do it as you wish."
The deep void dissipated.
The bald old man left the studio with a blank face.
He's a completely emotionless synth engineer who just follows orders and does what he has to do.
Even if it would kill 3 billion biotechnically created lifeforms, it would be a no-brainer.
If Li Nuo was lucky enough to hear the conversation between the two, he would definitely shout "awesome".
The collection of soul energy has been made into an assembly line!
Perhaps this is the charm of the combination of biotechnology and industrialization...
…
…
Island 33.
Quiet midnight.
Leno and Dinas stepped out of the miniature ocean and returned to the island of tranquility that they had not seen for a long time.
"Thank you for your help, Selena."
Leno smiled at the Witch of the Deep who was guarding the miniature ocean.
He whispered a few words to Dinas and told them to go to rest first, and he had something to talk to Selena.
Dinas casts a flying spell and leaves.
Li Nuo and Selena went from the fifth basement floor to the third floor above ground, and sat down in Li Nuo's study.
"Did you figure it out, Selena? Who knows about my departure from the Suman Islands? Li Nuo asked with hot tea.
Selena took the teacup and took a shallow sip, her red lips shining with water:
"You've done a good job of secrecy this time. No one but me noticed you and Dinas leaving. I can be sure of that. Even my brother always thought that you were recuperating, cultivating, and studying in Island 33 in preparation for your promotion to the Fourth Ring. ”
Li Nuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He pulled out a chair and sat down, and said slowly:
"I've gained a lot this time. Lots and lots of soul energy were obtained. I need you to help me secretly buy an energy conversion circle that converts soul energy into other magical energy. ”
"A lot? How much is a lot? Selena blinked, curious.
"It's unimaginable." Li Nuo Says:
"3 billion points. Yes, you heard it right. Not 300 million, but 3 billion. Measured by market prices, this is a huge amount of more than 300 billion gold coins. ”
Selena's expression froze, as if she had been struck by lightning.
Li Nuo Says:
"I also have a clue about the acquisition of the second plane. This soul energy is used to build the sub-plane. Since the sub-plane and the source of energy cannot be put on the bright side, I hope that you must be safe when you help me secretly purchase the energy conversion circle. ”
Li Nuo added:
"Also, I've got the source of the plane device as well. Now that everything is ready, we can just wait to convert the soul energy into the magic energy needed to build the sub-plane, and at the same time make more mechanical spirits in case we need it, and we can have our own sub-plane. ”
Selena's eyes gleamed with excitement, she finally had a chance to break free from her strong father's grasp.
"No problem, I'll guarantee safety, absolute security, whoever asks, I won't say."
Thanks for the subscription and monthly pass!
