A month has passed since Leno received Merster's letter.

The Tatis Empire announced the good news of the Restoration Festival to its people, and the excitement of the festival began to brew in the Empire.

For a long time, the empire was threatened by the Necromantic sect, almost all men went to war, the minimum age limit for military service was lowered again and again, and the entire empire was entrenched in the haze of reckless militarism.

The gloom and depression that have accumulated for a long time urgently need an outlet to release.

As the Land of Resurrection was recaptured and the necromantic creatures in the region were eradicated, the Empire was eager to mobilize the emotions of the people and strengthen the prestige of the Emperor with victory.

As a result, the festival is coming, the tax relief is also coming, and the land of recovery is ushering in vigorous vitality.

Merst was proud and excited about the revival of his kingdom, but he was bitter in his heart.

After the news of the Resurrection Festival spread throughout the country, the actions of the Necronomicon Sect suddenly became frequent.

Previously, the mausoleum west of the Resurrection Land, every fifteen days or so, there would be a necromantic riot in one of the mausoleums.

But now, basically every seven days, I can hear news of a rebellion at the mausoleum from the front, and from time to time there will be a riot in two mausoleums together.

Also, there has been a sharp increase in the number of necromantic agents captured by MI2.

These filthy rats, hiding in sewer pipes, underground rivers, and dark corners of the city, poured into the city in waves, stubble, as if tempted by sweet cheese.

They use "camouflage living corpses" or corpse stitching and embalming techniques to disguise themselves as frail humans and infiltrate the workshops, taverns, entertainment venues, houses, and other areas of the city.

Despicable assassinations and poisoning ensued.

In the first half month since the news of the holiday was announced, Merster received no less than 30 cases involving casualties, all of which were related to necromantic agents.

There is no doubt that the Necronomion is doing everything in its power to disrupt the festival in an attempt to shake the image of the army and the emperor in the minds of the people.

The Necronomicon must not be allowed to succeed, the Empire needs a celebration to reverse the decline in the country!

Merst worked hard, twenty-four hours a day.

He became a bridge between the Leyline Pillars and the Empire.

When the Empire discovers traces of the Necronomicon, Merster will tell the Leyline Pillars the news, and the leyline wizards will go to the scene to investigate and search for the whereabouts of the murderer.

If the leyline wizard senses signs of a necromantic agent's murder, he will also tell Merster the news, so that the other party can evacuate the ordinary people in the nearby area early.

The Pillar of the Leylines and MI2 are two forces working closely together to maintain order in the Recovery City.

With these two guarantees, although there will be some emergencies inside and outside the recovery city from time to time, the overall situation is still stable.

The city is becoming more and more popular, with trains passing by on the railroad almost every moment, and whistles whining over the suburbs outside the city.

During the day, construction sites all over the country were started, and there was a clanging sound everywhere.

At night, singing and cheering echoed through the city.

Working enthusiastically, eating and drinking, this is how the city's residents and visitors are revived as if they were living in a paradise of abundance and hope.

On the top floor of the city's most luxurious hotel, Merst sits by the window overlooking the city lights.

Watching Resusciva City flourish under the protection of himself and others, Merst felt content and comfort from the bottom of his heart.

Across the dining table, Li Nuo overlooked the city, but his heart was different.

He didn't know how to remind Merster that behind all this was the misery that lurked beneath the prosperity.

Just earlier today, Li Nuo's work was over for the time being, so he thought about coming to Resuscitation City to take a walk around here and use deconstruction to see what was going on with the Pure Light Wizard and the Metal Ancestral Dragon.

This look made him creepy.

It turned out that while he was indulging in the research and development of magic and mechanical spirits, the metal wizard Path Tinda, who had gathered with Horare, had already gone to the Necronomicon Sect.

What happened during their trip caught Li Nuo by surprise.

That Path Tinda actually turned into a metal dragon in front of the spider mother monk, and offered to meet the main priest of the ceremony, the demon bone.

Since Paith Tinda was already a synth in a sense, Leno was unable to access his memories.

Leno had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, reading Lamont's memories to learn about the process of meeting Paith Tinda with the Demon Bone.

Fortunately, when Paith Tinda met with the Demon Bones, Lamont was allowed to sit in on the hearing, otherwise Leno would not have been able to discover the shady conspiracy between the Necronomicon Sect and the Metal Ancestral Dragon.

The two of them are planning to sacrifice the creatures of the revival city to meet the conditions for unlocking the Polluted Realm.

There are now 600,000 people in the city.

By the time the festival begins, the number will climb to 800,000, or even 900,000.

Li Nuo used deconstruction to learn that ordinary people will have 1 point of soul energy, and 900,000 people are 900,000 points.

The amount of soul energy required to open the "Dead Steel Forest" is around 2 billion.

Intuitively, the person who sacrifices a city only gains 900,000 soul energy, which is still a big gap from opening the pollution field, right?

No, no, no, it's not like that.

In terms of soul energy alone, it does take 2 billion points to open the pollution realm.

However, if the sacrificial ritual is performed with living beings as sacrifices, then it only takes about 1 million living beings to open the Polluted Realm.

Li Nuo didn't know much about the ritual that opened the Pollution Realm, only that the Necronomicon Sect and the Metal Progenitor Dragon could indeed rely on the ritual to do this.

"Knowing these things, and then looking back at the recovery festival of Tatis... All I can say is that there are cats among the cabinet ministers around the emperor. ”

Li Nuo sighed in his heart.

He was aware of the conspiracy of the Necronomicon and the Metal Ancestral Dragon, but he had no evidence to prove it all.

It is impossible to rely on his own worries and speculations to get Merst to do his best to prevent the Resuscitation Festival.

Watching a disaster happen is not Li Nuo's style, not to mention that he had previously promised to assassinate the angel and try to delay the opening of the polluted realm.

He had to do something to make a deal with the assassination angel who appeared in front of him in the future.

Li Nuo thought about it and had a secret plan in his heart.

That evening, after dinner with Merst, Leno did not immediately go back.

He and Noreen each controlled a dozen or so mechanical spirits and quickly explored along the railroad in Recovery City.

In this day and age, the main mode of transportation in the Tatis Empire was the train.

As long as the railroad is destroyed, the speed of people flow will be greatly reduced.

How to destroy the railway without arousing suspicion and casualties is a technical task that requires careful planning.

More than 30 mechanical spirits scattered along the railroad in all directions, flying towards the hinterland of the empire.

The quest lasted for most of the night, and finally, just as the sun was about to rise, Leno and Noreen found a suitable location to sabotage the railroad.

These sites are located in mountainous areas.

The railway passes at the foot of the mountain or on the mountainside.

A small landslide can make the nearby railway impassable.

But don't underestimate the power of the Imperial workers, and in three days at most, the railroad will be cleared of stones and the crooked tracks will be replaced with new ones.

In order for the railway to be completely paralyzed for a long time due to natural disasters, Li Nuo had to control the destructive power of natural disasters to the extent that the railroad tracks could not be repaired.

This requires him to use geotechnical magic to alter the foundations beneath the railroad tracks.

A cavity in the ground due to shaking and rainwater erosion could lead to widespread collapse at any time, which could undoubtedly put an entire railway in a state of crisis.

It took Li Nuo three days to renovate the soil beneath the six railroads, creating six underground cavities.

Throughout the process, he used the "Veil of Otherworldhood" to cover up his actions, not allowing anyone to be aware of his presence.

With the roar of the landslide, the tracks of the six railways were flooded by huge rock fragments in five days, and the train passing by the accident site pulled down the emergency brakes, and the driver of the train looked at the stone mounds blocking the road in horror and couldn't stop breaking out in a cold sweat.

Workers who rushed to clear the wreck and repair the rails found a cavity underneath the rails, and then the rails were deactivated until the underground cavities were manually filled up again before they could be used again.

Within five days, six rails were deactivated.

The rate of growth in the city's foreign population has slowed suddenly.

Technocrats attribute the intensive occurrence of natural disasters in a short period of time to the pressure on rail capacity, that is, they believe that too frequent rail transport has led to the emergence of underground cavities.

Li Nuo was very satisfied with this result, which was the result he deliberately created.

It is worth mentioning that he did not paralyze all railways.

The railways, which transport soldiers, supplies and medicines, were not affected.

The paralyzed railways were only used for trade and transporting passengers.

Li Nuo just wanted to stop the population from concentrating on the recovery city, not to destroy the recovery city.

Just when Li Nuo thought that his plan had been a great success, an unexpected change made him feel stunned.

The Emperor, who had previously been strongly opposed to wizards stationed in the Empire, uncharacteristically applied for magical support from Unas Ring.

A support team of leyline wizards and alien metal wizards soon made their way to the empire through portals and began repairing railroad tracks and filling holes in the ground on behalf of mortal laborers.

Wizards are wizards after all.

After careful exploration and detection, they concluded that the cavities were man-made and that someone was deliberately sabotaging the operation of the railway.

Rhetorical proclamations appeared on the front pages of various newspapers, reprimanding the Necronomicon for sabotaging the railroad.

Li Nuo saw that the Necronomicon Sect took the blame for him, but he couldn't be happy in his heart, and even felt a little ridiculous...

Suffering from the lack of evidence to prove the bad intentions of the Necromantic Cult, the Pure Light Court, and the Metal Progenitor's Dragon, he had no choice but to disrupt the railroad in order to mitigate future disasters.

Now, however, he is seen as a potential enemy by the Empire.

"I'm thankless, isn't it?"

Li Nuo looked at the words in the newspaper and laughed at himself:

"Forget it. Since I can't stop the disaster, I'll take care of myself. I've tried it anyway, and I have a clear conscience. ”

Leno thought for a moment and wrote an anonymous letter to Merster, reminding him that the polluted underground river beneath the city could become a source of disaster that engulfed the entire city.

After doing this, Li Nuo didn't bother to care about Merster's reaction, and completely put aside the matter of Recovery City.

Now, all he needs to do is continue crafting the Robot and wait patiently for the appearance of the Dead Steel.

Time spent in a busy work, and in the blink of an eye, another month passed.

On the fourth floor of Island 33, a variety of magical energy appeared in the faintly glowing energy storage circle.

Up to 300 billion points of magical energy dwell here, sending faint but frightening fluctuations of energy in the air.

If you're not careful, the place will be ignited by "Mars" and blow up the entire island into the sky.

Lino had to arrange these magical energies as soon as possible, lest he make the headlines of the Unas Ring and become a much-talked-about magical maniac.

That night, in the dead of night.

Li Nuo went to the fifth underground floor alone, which was specially used for rituals and teleportation, and began to arrange the ritual of communicating the core of the "escape" plane.

The last time he performed the ritual, Li Nuo used relatively few alien active magic materials, but this time the number reached as many as 15.

This was bought by Selena to Li Nuo through her connections, and for this reason, she also risked being discovered by the Ministry of Magic.

Of course, if it is really discovered, it is not a big deal, at most it is just a matter of paying a fine to clear the charge.

Li Nuo put the sticky active material into the circle, moved to the center of the circle, and activated the soul gem at his feet.

Gray soul energy flowed rapidly along the magic chain of the circle.

Li Nuo looked up.

The ceiling above his head gradually became transparent under the effect of the ritual circle, and the bright night sky appeared in front of Li Nuo's eyes.

He focused, his eyes fixed on the starlight that appeared at the edge of the stars.

The energy fluctuations of the ritual circle became intense, and all the stars disappeared except for the stars that were staring at by Li Nuo.

The familiar tadpole-like celestial body magnified in Li Nuo's field of vision, and Li Nuo felt the call from the other party.

He relaxes his mind and lets his consciousness drift away from his shell and toward the stars.

After passing through the purple-black mist, Li Nuo once again saw the core of the "escape" plane, which had a one-sided relationship.

"I've noticed the magic energy and soul energy around you, it's very abundant."

"The energy needed to deliver the sub-plane is ready. I'm going to drain the energy from your side. At the end of this ritual, you will be able to discover the existence of that subplane by looking at the stars. ”

"I've placed dimensional shackles in the secondary plane that only allow you to enter, but that doesn't completely hinder the entry of other extraordinary. If the wizards of your world are strong enough, they may be one step ahead of you into the second plane and then take over there. So, please enter the secondary plane as soon as possible, and then seal it off. ”

The way "Escape" speaks has not changed, and he still conveys several pieces of information to Li Nuo at the same time.

As soon as Li Nuo finished reading the previous article, the next text written in an unknown language popped up, one after another.

At the same time, the magical energy of the fourth underground layer of Island 33 converged towards the ritual circle on the fifth underground floor.

Thanks for the subscription and monthly pass!
