"As you can see, Area 2 was engulfed by the Void Rift three days ago, and the Disaster Response Department is trying to find a way to save it.

"As for your property damage, we're sorry, but there is no such thing as void corrosion in all of the accidental loss categories mentioned in the insurance regulations.

"Given our current knowledge of the Void Corrosion and the means to remove it, we temporarily believe that your property is still in danger of being restored.

"So, we won't pay them until it's proven that they can't be recovered.

"In addition, if it is confirmed in the future that the Void Corrosion is indeed irreversible, we will immediately start discussing the revision of the relevant rules, and wait until the rules are perfected before giving you the corresponding compensation.

"Do you have any questions?"

The insurance counselor asked.

syllable

Megumi stopped the timer in front of the other party.

This small magic device has a thumb-wide curtain of water floating on it for the time it has been used:

9 minutes and 59 seconds.

One more second will cost you more, not only the timing problem, but also the unit price.

Leaving the insurance company, Megumi fell into a long thought.

Zones 0-3 are the relatively official islands of Velitas.

Area 0 is where the Library of Truth, the Institute of Truth, and the Institute of Veritas are located, and the threshold for entering them is Level 5.

Zone 1 is an administrative office area.

Zone 3 is the Lion King's General Services Building, where she now stands in front of the insurance company.

This time, only Area 2 was engulfed by the rift, which was the logistics, warehousing department, and staff dormitory shared by the Truth House and the Lion King.

Here's what confuses her.

Is the Void Calamity really coming?

The answer is as it is.

Three years after the game, the rift engulfed all five islands except Area 0 in one fell swoop, and it came unexpectedly.

Compared to then, it's just a small fight.

After learning about Karl Ilan's research and what happened to the Blighted Scarf, Megumi already has a rough guess about the outbreak of the Void Catastrophe as a plot party.

The game's Void Calamity is indeed a disaster, but not this time.

She was more inclined that it was a deliberately controlled outburst by the House of Truth.

I can't hold it anymore, I have to release some pollution.

Combined with the two disaster sites, it is not difficult to judge that Area 0-3 is the most polluted place and the starting point of the disaster.

On this basis, controlling the scope to Area 2 is undoubtedly the least costly.

As for why it was not released into the sea......

She believes the root cause of the outbreak is on the island.

The fissures grew from the island, not artificially moved there.

After clearing her mind and looking at the torn towering island, Megumi was not much surprised.

After all, it is the one who has really seen the "disaster".

At that time, she was the highest-ranking group of researchers, and her daily task activities were in Area 0, and she suddenly dropped offline, and when she looked at the forum, she realized that her home was gone.

The catastrophe did not bring Villitas a superficially huge loss.

After all, the mages had accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with strange beasts and rifts over the years.

In the case of this archipelago, the surrounding sea has long been devoid of normal fish, and is full of hidden chasms and sea life corrupted by the void.

Those things are no longer interference for them, but inexhaustible wealth.

What really hurts the nerves is the loss of control of the magic net, and the monopoly of the void sac technology is broken.

The real harm on the surface is concentrated on land.

Because the magic net spreads pollution that other races have never seen.

Those people don't have such a lot of experience fighting the Void.

So, the question also arises -

How big is the impact of this small-scale disaster?

Will it spread the pollution like in the game, and then farm strange beasts everywhere, and NPCs will be parasitized from time to time?

Megumi has no way of knowing.

Naga's rank was too low to get inside information, and she couldn't speculate.

At this moment, Simon walked over, followed by a guy with white sideburns and sharp-beaked monkey cheeks.

As an employee of the Lion King Trading House, he, like Megumi, has no place to live.

"You're not going to be on the streets, are you?"

Simon scoffed.

There are a lot of people here, and they have to play the role of colleagues who don't like each other.

As a person who has a place to go, he has to say anything at this time.

This is Megumi's request, and although he doesn't understand it, he still has to comply with it.

So this sentence is actually asking – where are you going to go.

Megumi sneered and sneered, "Take care of yourself, kid." ”

- I'll figure it out myself.

"Don't be so stubborn, for the sake of my colleagues, I can take you to my friend's house with reluctance."

He motioned for the person next to him to speak.

"Hello, my name is Mark, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Mage."

Mark holds out his hand, but is ignored by Megumi Hye.

Megumi said sorry to the other party from the bottom of her heart, she had to play a difficult mage.

Mark sucked his hand back, sniffed, and couldn't help but yawn.

This is a typical symptom of an overdose of powder.

Although this kind of thing can improve concentration in the short term, many mages love it, but taking it in the long term will cause dependence, so much so that it ruins a spellcaster.

Megumi frowned: "What are you bringing this guy to me for?" ”

"Don't get me wrong, my friend just had some minor trouble, and I brought him to you to solve the problem. In return, you might as well stay with him first. ”

Simon said politely.

The two exchanged glances, and Megumi understood that this person named Mark had information on him, so he agreed with a cold face.

It wasn't until the three of them stepped on a flying boat that an invisible eyeball fell off Megumi from her body.

It floated into the air, avoiding many chasms that were invisible to the naked eye.

The fissures are too small to be observed, and they are harmless to people.

But for a magical creature like it, it was deadly.

It drifted cautiously back to Sector 1, into a tall white mage tower.

An old man who was writing at his desk raised his head and reached out to take it.

What "Mage Naga" had seen and heard in the two hours since he landed on the island was condensed into a few minutes, and his mind raced through them.

Then he looked down and pulled over a piece of magical letterhead, writing down his observations.

"Observers are not mentally polluted, and past reports are credible."

The letterhead transforms into a secret falcon and flappes its wings and flies out of the window towards Area 0.

A few minutes later, it flew into a large but noisy circular conference hall and landed in a corner.

The dozing recorder took the paper that the Falcon had turned into, glanced at the words on it, and then walked quickly to the person presiding over the meeting and handed the note to the other party.

The latter looked twice, then crossed out a "project to be discussed".

"On the Possible Influence of the Magic Net Pollution Incident in the Mountainous Area of McKara"

"I said I shouldn't have added that."

He grunted.

……

Mark's home is in District 88.

The islands of Velitas are basically the further back they go, the more chaotic they become.

Islands larger than 90 can be called lawless, so they are sealed off, and they are only allowed to leave for one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening.

Visitors are also unable to see the exact appearance of these islands, as the magic barrier that blocks Area 2 also envelops the ten islands.

Looking over from Area 88, there is a blue sea and blue sky, and it is peaceful.

Only through the barrier do you know how chaotic it is.

Mark may not have been back for a long time, and this time he only came back a week earlier than Simon.

Although he looked unkempt and a little weak, his home was still clean.

On the way here, Hui Hui already knew that the other party was a "mule", that is, a transport personnel under the name of the Lion King Trading House who specialized in using the Void Sac.

These people are outliers among mages, and their spiritual attributes are up to standard, but their affinity is insufficient.

Such people abound in Villitas.

After all, mental power can be stimulated with medicine, but the affinity of the Yuan Spirit is innate.

So they either work as mules, or they use magic machines and props.

It is equivalent to a "heavy manual labor worker" among spellcasters.

And the other party revealed a key piece of information.

In recent months, the burden of using the Void Sac has grown so much that he has had to use Powder.

He found Naga, a fourth-level mage, this time, just to ask the other party to help him mix some powder.

"Aren't you going to rest for a while, why do you need this thing?" Megumi couldn't help but ask.

"Originally, I was going to rest, but there was a shortage of people in District 2, and they gave a lot of money." Mark grinned.

Megumi nodded, not asking much.

Her perception couldn't tell if the landing detection had been canceled, and she knew that the buff would last up to 12 hours, so she couldn't go overboard for the time being.

She spent some time mixing the powder, and when it was almost dark, she was invited to Mr. Basque's house for an appointment.

However, when she arrived at the door of the dwarven rich merchant's house, she saw an unexpected person.

The other party walked out of a black carriage with a noble temperament and a cold face, followed by two guards, a man and a woman.

The other party also found her, and seemed to be recalling who it was.

How did the ministers of the city of Godro end up here?

A Nice from the Northlands and a priest of the Shadow Sanctuary......

Why was she invited by the dwarves???

Can they agree on anything other than that necromancers are heretical?

The plot ......

Megumi can't read it anymore.

It's Kaven today.,Just two more pinch.,The next chapter is a little later |ω),I'll write more.,Read it tomorrow morning.。
