387. Gossip
Avoiding the things tainted by Tulsali, Leno searched around the ground, and the state of the entire polluted field became clear in his mind.
It's a very large area of pollution, but there's not much to explore.
The combination of transparent barrier + abandoned urban area is more in the field of pollution, and Li Nuo turned around and saw about 10 urban areas.
Outside of these urban areas, the yellow sand is everywhere and the ground is scorched.
It is conceivable that before the abandoned urban areas were turned into the territory of the dead steel soldiers, under the protection of transparent barriers, each urban area formed a relatively independent ecological circle, isolated from the terrible environment of the outside world.
The urban area is connected by subway.
Unless they could find a small hole in the transparent barrier like Li Nuo, ordinary wizards would not be able to enter the city from the ground.
Along the way, Li Nuo explored and saw many wizards scratching their ears and cheeks outside the transparent barrier, and they were all stopped by this impregnable and at the same time extremely clear barrier.
Further, any wizard who enters the polluted realm will appear directly on the scorched earth outside the barrier.
Tulsali and the metal wizards who obeyed him must have been supported by the Death Steel Legion to pass through the transparent barrier and enter the underground area.
Thinking about it, Li Nuo realized that if he wanted to muddy the situation, he would have to help the wizards find a way to go underground.
Breaking through the rock and soil layer directly above the underground plant may not work.
Li Nuo looked at the place, there were no dead steel soldiers on the ground, no metal wizards or metal objects of Tulsali, but about ten meters below the soil, a transparent barrier appeared.
The transparent barrier in the underground perfectly envelops the entire underground plant and is connected to the barrier that protects the subway.
This is exactly what the system wrote on the deconstruction result:
"The barriers in the urban area are connected to the barriers of the underground facilities."
The plan of forcibly breaking through the ground to the underground factory by violent means did not work, and Li Nuo turned his attention to the small holes in the urban barriers.
Nine of the 10 cities identified by Leno were the barracks of the Death Steel Legion.
The buildings in the city were crowded with cold, hard, ruthless dead steel soldiers, who stood silently in the room like dolls in a display case, shoulder to shoulder, crowded with people.
A handful of gifted wizards discovered a small hole in the transparent barrier and drilled into it with a flying spell.
These wizards are a little reckless.
Outside the barrier, they had already felt the suppression of their spellcasting ability from the mysterious environmental field, and they took it for granted that the strength of the environmental field inside the barrier was no more than that.
The moment they landed through the barrier, they were horrified to find that they had completely lost their ability to cast spells and were unable to use magical energy-powered magic items to protect themselves.
Before they could repent and flee, countless barrels of guns came out of the dark building, spewing fiery tongues of fire at them.
Bursting bullets rained down around them, causing a series of small explosions.
This is a face, and the wizards who dominate outside the polluted realm have ended up like ordinary people.
When the smoke dissipated and the smoke sank, the wizards remained here forever in a fragmented manner.
But that's not all.
When the wizards outside the barrier witnessed the death of their kind, several teams of Dead Steel soldiers marched out of the building.
Under the watchful eyes of many wizards, the Dead Steel soldiers violently burned the wizard's corpse with the flamethrower in their hands, and sucked the scarbs of the wizard's soul with something that resembled a watering can.
Destroying corpses and recovering soul energy, a whole set of processes is like water.
The Dead Steel soldiers left peacefully amid the wizard's roar, as if they had done a trivial thing.
People teach people, just once.
After seeing the tragic fate of their kind, the rest of the wizards put away their contempt for the current polluted realm.
Li Nuo watched all this in an invisible state.
The "Silence Force Field" inside the barrier and the dead steel soldiers crouching in the building became the natural enemies of the wizards.
Help the wizard remove the "Silence Force Field", the dead steel soldier whose anti-magic value is not high enough should not be the wizard's opponent.
On top of this, luring the Dead Steel soldiers away can also reduce some of the pressure on the wizards.
In this way, clever wizards should be able to find factories that stock anti-magic materials.
So how do you remove the "Silence Force Field"?
Li Nuo suddenly thought of those metal wizards, the other party and the others were not affected by the "Silence Force Field", and they could use spells normally underground.
The words "Silence Force Field" do not appear on their panel information.
What keeps them free from bondage?
In thought, Li Nuo turned back to the city where the root server was located.
There are no other humanoids in the city, except for the human torches in the buildings, and the Dead Steel soldiers only patrol the area on a regular basis.
A place where even dead steel soldiers are not willing to linger for a long time, is that a good place?
Perhaps, this so-called Root Server City is far more dangerous than the city full of dead steel soldiers, and the source of this danger is the torch humans in the buildings.
Li Nuo returned here with the intention of going underground again, looking for traces of metal wizards and delving deeper into their secrets.
But when he arrived, he found the group of metal wizards floating cautiously in the air, shuttling between the buildings.
Below the metal wizards, a small group of dead steel soldiers stayed near the subway entrance, not daring to go deep into the city, nor daring to move with the metal wizards, behaving very cautiously.
The wizards flew in the sky, and the dead steel soldiers stopped, both moving and still.
Li Nuo noticed a hint of something unusual:
"If this city is a place for the soldiers of Dead Steel, no one should enter. Then the Dead Steel Soldiers should follow the metal wizards and monitor their every move. But the Dead Steel soldiers are now afraid to step into the building, acting as if they are a little afraid of the city, what is going on? ”
Li Nuo folded his arms, once again distressed that there was no assassination angel around him.
If the assassination angel was there, he should have known the correct answer by now.
Leno watched the metal wizards' every move, throwing a deconstruction spell at them.
A temporary state that had not been seen before appeared on the panel information of this group of metal wizards:
"All-metal body and mind".
Individuals with this state will be deeply transformed by metal magic, and there is no flesh and blood in the body, and the soul is completely blocked by metal magic, and the soul cannot be extracted.
Li Nuo's pupils shrank, and his thoughts were wide open!
He'd really want to know what's going on with this root server town!
Judging by the careful manner of the metal wizard, if the creature entering this place has flesh and blood and the soul is not protected, it is very likely that an accident will happen to him.
As for what the accident was, Li Nuo soon knew the answer.
I saw that the group of metal wizards came to the rooftop of a building, took out the materials from the magic pocket, and set up a temporary experimental site.
They set up an autopsy table with heavy magic chains, then took out a human body encased in a metal container and placed it on the dissecting table.
The moment the metal container was opened, the flesh and blood in it exploded with a thud.
The speed of the burning was extremely short, one second the sparks were full of sparks, and the next second the sparks converged inwards and retracted into the flesh and blood.
The surface of the human body in the metal container showed no signs of burns, but its eyes emitted green light like those human torches in the building.
"It's amazing..."
"I thought the flames were going to burn this doll, but I didn't expect it to be intact..."
"Don't touch it, idiot, do you want to be transformed into a torch too!"
The metal wizards spoke to the puppets inside the metal box, and hurriedly closed the box to isolate the puppets from the outside air.
The metal box placed on the dissection table is specially made, and inside there are several sets of tools for dissection, as well as a special place for dissecting objects.
The metal wizard used his ability to manipulate metal products, "picked up" the dissecting table inside through the metal box, and began to try to dissect.
The first knife slashed along the puppet's abdomen, and a slender wound several minutes deep appeared on the skin, no blood flowed from the wound, and a green glow scattered from it.
"Bang."
The sudden explosion startled the surrounding metal wizards.
Before their exclamations could subside, the dolls, which had been quiet, had already turned into black smoke in the explosion, covering the entire metal box.
"Can you be nimble with your hands and feet!"
"You're cutting too deep, stupid."
"Let me do it!"
The metal wizards shouted a few words, took out another metal box, and concocted it in the same way, and obtained another puppet that had been transformed into a human torch.
"Bang."
The explosion struck again, and the metal system blocked the impact of the explosion, but the puppet in it followed in the footsteps of the previous one and turned into black powder.
Several attempts in a row, the metal wizard failed.
Cultivating the metal meditation method itself is easy to make people impulsive and irritable.
Well, now that the successive failures have exhausted the patience of the wizards, a group of people are squirting at the top of their lungs in the dead silence of the city.
Perhaps it was the metal progenitor dragon hiding behind the curtain who couldn't stand it anymore and intervened, and the noisy wizards suddenly stiffened in unison and bent down humbly, as if listening to the voice in their heads.
Li Nuo was thoughtful.
Didn't the assassination angel say that if Thalsali wanted to cooperate with the Deathsteel Legion, he would have to show sufficient sincerity?
The Death Steel Legion gave it demon-resistant metal, and Tulsali had to reciprocate it.
Then this reward should not be to help the Death Steel Legion study such a strange thing as the human torch?
If this is the case, then the metal progenitor dragon has gone to great lengths to pollute the metal objects in the entire city, not only to find the thief, but also to complete the research task.
Li Nuo's eyes narrowed slightly.
After thinking about it again, a plan that can hit the nail on the head came to mind.
He brought up the system interface in his mind, selected the "tracking mark" on Selena's body, and threw out "telepathy".
At this time, Selena was taking care of the business at hand.
After sensing the call from Li Nuo's heart, she waved her hand to let the pen and paper floating in the air fall on the table, and then asked in her heart:
"What's wrong? Jarvis. ”
Li Nuo asked straight to the point:
"If I want to spread rumors among the wizarding community exploring the Pollution Realm, do you have any good advice?"
Selena was stunned when she heard this:
"Spreading rumors?"
"Yes."
Selena twirled her chin with her fingers, thought and said:
"Then I have to ask if it was an anonymous rumor, or was it done in the name of someone?"
"Anonymous." Li Nuo responded.
Selena thought for a moment and said:
"If it's anonymous, then I'd suggest spreading rumors through the Grey Wizard. Those guys only recognize money, not people, and don't have the heart to find out the identity of their employers. As long as they are happy enough to give money, their work efficiency will be more reliable. ”
Selena writes:
"What kind of rumors do you want to spread? It is best not to damage the name of a wizarding force, otherwise it is easy to attract an investigation by a wizard who enforces the law. Also, different rumors, the price is also different. There are rumors about an individual's private life, and the price charged will be relatively high. On the other hand, if the rumor involves more people, the fee will be lower. ”
At this time, Li Nuo heard for the first time that the more people who were involved in the rumors, the cheaper the fees.
However, this is not a good time to dig deeper.
He put it bluntly:
"I've found a way into the heart of the Pollution Realm, but there's a lot of metal Protogenitor's puppies in the way. I need a group of wizards to help me clear the way and distract the metal progenitor dragon so I can take the anti-magic materials away. ”
Selena came interested:
"Tell me about it?"
Li Nuo pondered for a moment and said:
"Okay .. To put it simply, it goes like this.."
Li Nuo spent 10 minutes explaining the cause and effect.
He concluded by emphasizing the fact that if the Root Server City is destroyed, the "Field of Annihilation" will disappear.
This was only Li Nuo's speculation, but it was enough to lure wizards to come and besiege Root Server City.
Selena was so confused by the words "human torch" and "root server" that she couldn't imagine what Li Nuo was describing.
She can only talk about things and put forward her own ideas:
"I don't think it's too difficult to spread the word. The last time I helped you open up the energy conversion circle, I happened to know a few gray wizards. I can go to them and ask for the price. ”
"Well, no problem." Li Nuo added:
"It's all about safety, and we must not be found out."
"Don't worry, I know it. I even have a hunch that it may not cost a penny to spread such rumors. ”
The two cut off contact.
Grey wizards generally do not have magical messengers.
To communicate with them, Selena needs to use unconventional means.
She writes an anonymous letter with a magic pen and puts it in a drifting bottle, then uses deep-sea magic to summon a magical seahorse to take to a sea area west of the Suman Islands.
Throw the bottle to the surface, and it won't be long before a sea eagle hovering in the air for a long time will take the bottle away.
Selena's magical seahorse lingers in the seawater, waiting for a reply.
At the same time, Li Nuo, who is on the periphery of the root server, finds that a large group of gray wizards are flying towards the city like a flock of birds against the nest...
Leno threw deconstruction at one of the Grey wizards.
After sweeping his eyes to solve the results, Li Nuo couldn't help but laugh.
It really made Selena guess right.
The Grey Wizard who was the first to know the rumor became a "tap water", and even Selena's money was confiscated, so the rumor spread throughout the Grey Wizard community. (End of chapter)
