384. Enter the field
The public issuance of the reward order by the Pure Light Court is not related to the creation of the sub-plane of No. 13442.
At least from the newspapers of the Unas Ring, there is no news linking the two.
But in private, there will always be some whimsical wizards who boldly put two things together and analyze them.
On the day when the Pure Light Court issued a reward order, there were some subtle voices in the letters that appeared in the labyrinth space.
After reading the letters briefly, Li Nuo asked Noreen to take them and destroy them.
There is no shortage of quick-witted guys in the wizarding community.
They speculated that the owner of Subplane 13442 - whether he was the missing Night Spiritual Order or someone else, was definitely related to the Soul Gems stolen from the Pure Light Court.
In the letter, the sorcerer who wrote proposed that Li Nuo provide some information and sell it to the Pure Light Court, and then the two parties would share the reward from the Pure Light Court.
Now that Li Nuo has sufficient soul energy and magic materials, the demand for gold coins has dropped sharply, so he naturally won't take this kind of small profit to heart.
The disaster that happened in Recovery City is Li Nuo's top priority now.
Earlier today, at about 11 p.m., the festive atmosphere in Recovery City was at its peak.
While everyone in the city was immersed in joy, countless strange creatures with black bodies emerged from the ground.
This group of creatures, which are extraordinary at first glance, have captured the wizard stronghold in the city with great speed.
All wizarding forces, including the Leyline Pillars and the Pure Light Court, were swept away by black creatures that were almost completely immune to magical energy within half an hour.
Yes, for half an hour, the Leyline Pillar and the Pure Light Court only lasted for half an hour, and then they were forced to open the portal and retreat urgently.
Li Nuo didn't have a picture of the scene, but it was not difficult to think that it was a devastating offensive.
As soon as the wizards guarding the city retreated, only the cyborg giants and the army of ordinary people were left in the city, neither of which could stand in the way of the black creatures.
Li Nuo has placed a lot of "tracking markers" in Recovery City.
If there's something unusual there, or if there's a weird creature there, he'll know about it first.
But the reality is that black creatures are immune to psychic detection.
When they appeared near the "tracking marker", Leno did not feel the alertness from the psychic level.
If it weren't for Noreen's habit of regularly checking the state of Resuscitation City, Leno might have been aware of the presence of black creatures.
"What the hell is this, sir?"
Near the mechanistic assembly line on the secondary plane, Noreen asked, pointing to the image on the magic guide accessor.
In the picture, dense black creatures weave through the streets and alleys, leaping between rooftops and chimneys, with extremely agile movements, fast as the wind, and cruel in their methods.
If you don't look closely, these black things look like crazy black dogs, but if you look closely, they are black skeletons with steel and iron bones, but they are only the size of children.
Li Nuo stared at the chaotic scene, his brows furrowed, carefully recalling every word the assassination angel had said.
He didn't need to use deconstruction to know that the black metal skeleton wasn't supposed to be the product of dead steel.
Heat-wielding Deathsteel Legion wields energy ammunition and energy blades, often armed with heavy guns or glowing melee weapons.
The black metal skeleton in front of him is more like a necromantic creature summoned with the anti-magic material of dead steel.
Leno aimed at a fast-moving black metal skeleton and threw a deconstruction.
The system text refreshed in his mind, and Li Nuo nodded slowly, and sure enough.
Known as the "Witch Hunter Killer", these black metal skeletons are designed to target energy-dependent extraordinaries such as wizards, as well as raid specific areas in groups.
Judging from the number of witch hunters and the source of their appearance, the dark green underground river should be their "birthplace".
"My worst fears have happened."
Li Nuo hugged his arms and sighed:
"Once the leyline pillars divert the underground river, it will cause a wide range of geological problems. But if the underground river is not diverted, it will be as disaster as it is now. This may be the fate of the city of Recovery City. β
Noreen asked with a look of pity:
"Shall we go over and help? Mr? β
Li Nuo pointed his finger at his elbow and thought for a few seconds, shaking his head slightly:
"Still can't go. Even the good-faced wizard force of the Pure Light Court has not been able to hold out in the hands of the black metal skeleton, so I, a half-wizard, should not join in the fun... Well, wait, maybe in a while, reinforcements from the Unas Ring will arrive. β
As soon as Li Nuo's words fell, several gradually expanding portals appeared in the sky above Recovery City.
At the same time, four stars, which were obscured by the sun's rays, changed from the size of a grain of rice to a "basketball" hanging in the sky.
They threw dozens of pillars of light into the ground, sending a group of wizards over.
Li Nuo squinted at the figure falling from the sky.
He just wanted to distinguish the identity of the person who came, but he saw that hundreds of black water suddenly gushed out of the recovery city, and almost all the manhole covers in the city were blown into the air by the black water.
The wizard who landed towards the ground was also startled by this sudden change, and his flight speed involuntarily slowed down a few points.
Before they could figure out the situation, the black water jets that erupted from the ground were manipulated by an invisible force, converging directly above the center of the city, and then spreading in all directions, forming a black canopy that enveloped the entire city.
As soon as the massive magical barrier took shape, the wizards in the sky reacted, and they hurried to the ground at an accelerated pace, trying to fly into the city before the barrier could close.
At this moment, there was a loud bang, and the heavens and the earth shook!
A wall condensed by black mist appeared in the sky, towering to the sky and the ground, and the posture was majestic.
In just a split second, the black wall, which covered the entire western sky, swept across the earth from west to east at a lightning speed, mercilessly crushing all the buildings in its path.
Resuscitation City, along with the humans and wizards in the city, were all engulfed by this black wall, and the heavens and the earth were completely dark.
γAttention! γ
[Your "Tracking Marker (No. 335 to 510)" has been "???? "Destroy. γ
With the disappearance of the spell mark, the "Psychic Vision" is broken, and the magical vision is gone.
"Sir, what's that black wall?" Noreen had palpitations.
Li Nuo threw deconstruction at the systematic text in his mind, deconstructing it accurately"???? βγ
After expending some energy, Li Nuo learned the truth under the question mark, which was the polluted area called "Dead Steel Forest".
Unexpectedly, I really didn't expect that after stealing that batch of soul energy with a total of 3 billion points, the Necronomicon Sect would still be able to forcibly open the Pollution Realm...
Li Nuo rubbed his brows and said:
"That black wall should be some kind of external barrier to the polluted field. By the way, Noreen, how many days have passed since I brought back 3 billion soul energy points? β
Noreen responded without thinking:
"It's 112 days and 15 hours."
"That's been almost four months," Li Nuo rubbed his chin.
Originally, the assassination angel expected that in no more than half a year, the metal progenitor dragon Thalsali would be able to gather another batch of soul energy.
Half a year was 6 months, and now 4 months have passed, two months earlier.
It seems that Thalsali and the Necronomicon Sect have been very, very much involved recently, otherwise how could they have completed the preparation plan of the soul energy in advance.
"Meow~"
The Snowwing Cat had brought some letters to Lino, sent by Professor Erica, reminding him of the emergence of a new area of pollution in the city.
The Wizard Forward will immediately issue a non-mandatory research mission to all Unas Rings for this polluted field.
All wizards can go over and study it, as long as they report to the wizard if they advance to it.
In addition, the Wizards Forward has provided a piece of information on the dangers of this tainted realm, highlighting the possible presence of demon-resistant creatures in the realm.
What Professor Erica meant was that she just wanted to send someone in to check on the so-called "demon-resistant creatures".
If Li Nuo is interested, you can ask her to sign up.
Lino wrote a reply, politely declining Professor Erica's invitation.
He intends to go it alone, not wanting the Silent Girl to get involved in his conflict with Tulsali.
"Noreen, get ready, take the sentry and we'll take a trip to that polluted realm. Of course, you don't have to go over yourself, you can help me through the machine spirit. β
"Yes, sir."
When packing his luggage, Li Nuo felt a little more fortunate in his heart.
Fortunately, he knew about the existence of anti-magic materials early on, and deliberately asked Noreen to design and manufacture a mechanical spirit that relies on non-magical energy to fight in advance, otherwise he would definitely be busy sweating now.
The way to determine whether an energy is magical or not is very simple, just look at whether there is such energy in the current alien sky.
The alien sky does not have rock and earth energy, metal energy, natural energy, death energy, deep sea magic, blood magic, etc., so these energies are all magical energies unique to the wizarding world.
For example, thunder and lightning energy and fire energy, this energy has "close relatives" in the alien sky, alternating current and direct current are the "relatives" of thunder and lightning energy, and heat is the "relative" of fire energy, so thunder energy and fire energy can be used as non-magical energy as long as they change their form.
Kinetic energy is found in both the wizarding world and the alien sky, and is the most typical non-magical energy.
Half of the spiritual power of the sentry machine made by Li Nuo Nuo focuses on kinetic killing, which is suitable for dealing with monsters in the polluted realm.
With a wave of his hand, Li Nuo swept the ready-made mechanical spirit into the magic pocket.
After much hesitation, he still picked a batch of highly mobile metal robots as backups, so as not to be caught in the situation of being kite flying by the enemy.
Everything was ready, and Li Nuo set off immediately.
This time, instead of opening a portal near the Suman Islands, he used the safest method to get to the island.
This method is to first have Selena use the miniature ocean to teleport herself to the deep sea area, and then perform the "Water Walking Technique" herself, rushing from under the surface of the water to Dianjin Island.
In this way, no outsider will know that Li Nuo has left the Suman Islands.

The area of the polluted area of the "Hustle and Bustle Tunnel" is not small, but because it appears in a dark area, it is difficult for ordinary people to reach, so its influence is not very large.
The polluted area of the "Dead Steel Forest" is different.
It's about the size of the Noisy Tunnel, and it's exposed to the ground, so anyone can "visit" it with teleportation.
The turmoil caused by it overshadowed the public reward order of the No. 13442 Sub-Plane and the Pure Light Court in one day, helping Li Nuo completely erase the rumors in the market.
Mao estimates that on the day of the appearance of the Polluted Domain alone, at least 10,000 wizards used teleportation to reach the periphery of the Polluted Domain.
Among them are the wizards of the Unas Ring and the Grey wizards.
After the two sides met, they tried to refrain from using force.
There are no big battle scenes, but small frictions are constant.
Li Nuo avoided both sides, landed from the southernmost point of Dianjin Island, and disappeared all the way to the periphery of the polluted field.
Looking at the black fog wall that covered most of the sky, Li Nuo felt a faint palpitation, just because there was a huge ghostly black shadow in the black fog, swimming in the fog like a vicious beast lurking under the water.
Li Nuo checked the items he was carrying, and after repeatedly confirming that there were no mistakes, he mustered up the courage to plunge headlong into the black mist.
As he approached the mist, a massive suction force sucked him in, followed by a whirlwind and a constant roar.
Whether it was the noise or the uncontrollable spin, it ignored Li Nuo's magic shield and acted directly on his body, which was really difficult to resist.
If it weren't for Li Nuo's strong body, he doubted that he would have survived the "spatial transfer" effect of the pollution field.
Finally, after ten seconds of torture, the noise in his ears subsided, and Li Nuo regained control of his body.
When he opened his eyes and looked ahead, Li Nuo's pupils were lowered, reflecting the scene of high-rise buildings, and his breathing stagnated.
He saw the city!
It's a modern city!
Everything was very similar to the city he had experienced before he traveled, except that there were no lights here, only dead silence.
The buildings are crooked, as if they are about to collapse at any moment, and a few buildings are more like building blocks on top of each other.
The surface of each building is covered with black things.
The interior of each building was pitch black, and at the same time there was a faint green light.
His gaze shifted, and Li Nuo looked around.
He stood on the outskirts of a city, on a black, scorched earth, littered with charred stumps.
"I really miss the days when there were assassination angels with me, so that I could find out the history behind this polluted realm from the other party..."
Li Nuo sketched a blueprint of the spell in his mind and cast the "Veil of the Otherworld (Imitation)" at himself.
His figure became transparent.
Half a minute later, several mechanical spirits, who were also invisible, flew out from his side, aiming at the city not far away.
As the image of the city zooms in on the magical vision, the layout of the buildings gradually becomes clear.
"I wonder if there's anyone in here..."
Li Nuo thought to himself.
Just like the gray poets he saw in the "Gray Wilderness", there may also be "ancients" in this "Dead Steel Forest".
Thanks for the subscription and monthly pass!
