Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 385 375. A clear conscience

A month has passed since Li Nuo received Meister's letter.

The Tatis Empire announced the good news of the Festival of Recovery to its people, and the lively atmosphere of the grand festival began to brew in the empire.

For a long time, the empire has been threatened by the Necron Cult. Almost all men have gone to the battlefield. The minimum age limit for military service has been lowered again and again. A haze of militarism hangs over the entire empire.

The depression and depression accumulated over a long period of time are in urgent need of an outlet to release.

Just as the Resurrection Land was recaptured and the undead creatures in the area were eradicated, the Empire couldn't wait to use victory to mobilize the emotions of the people and strengthen the Emperor's prestige.

So, the holidays are here, tax breaks are here, and the land of recovery is booming with life.

Moster was proud and excited about the recovery of his country, but he was really miserable in his heart.

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

Previously, in the mausoleums west of the Land of Resurrection, undead riots would only occur in one mausoleum every fifteen days or so.

But now, you can hear news of mausoleum riots from the front line basically every seven days, and from time to time, two mausoleums will riot together.

Also, the number of undead agents captured by MI2 has increased dramatically.

These dirty rats hiding in sewer pipes, underground rivers, and dark corners of the city, seemed to be tempted by the sweet cheese, and poured into the Recovery City in waves.

They use "disguising living corpses" or corpse stitching and embalming techniques to disguise themselves as weak humans and sneak into workshops, taverns, entertainment venues, private houses, etc. in the city.

Despicable assassinations and poisonings followed.

In the past half month since the news of the festival was just announced, Moster had received no less than thirty cases involving casualties, and all of these cases were related to the undead agents.

There is no doubt that the Necromancers are doing their best to ruin the festival and try to undermine the image of the army and the Emperor in the minds of the people.

The Necromancer Sect must not be allowed to succeed. The empire really needs a celebration to reverse the decline in the country!

Moster worked hard, around the clock.

He became the bridge between the Ley Pillars and the Empire.

After the empire discovers traces of the Necromancer Cult, Most will tell the news to the Leyline Pillars, and the Leyline Wizards will go to the scene to investigate and search for the whereabouts of the murderer.

If the Earthline Wizard notices signs of the Necromancer's murder, he will also tell Meister the news and ask the other party to evacuate ordinary people in the nearby area early.

The Pillars of Earth and the Second Military Intelligence Branch work closely together to maintain the order of Resuscitation City.

With these two guarantees, although there may be emergencies from time to time inside and outside Recovery City, the situation is generally stable.

The city is becoming more and more popular, with trains passing by on the railway almost all the time, and over the suburbs outside the city, whistles are blaring continuously.

During the day, construction sites were started in various places, and there was the sound of clanking and banging everywhere.

At night, singing and cheering echo throughout the city.

Working enthusiastically and enjoying food and drinks to their heart's content, this is the way of life for residents and tourists in the recovery city, as if they are living in a paradise full of prosperity and hope.

On the top floor of the most luxurious hotel in the city, Moster sat by the window, overlooking the lights of the city.

Seeing Recovery City flourish under the protection of himself and others, Moster felt satisfied and comfortable from the bottom of his heart.

Across the dining table, Li Nuo overlooked the city, but he felt something else in his heart.

He didn't know how to remind Most that behind all this was the misery hidden under the prosperity.

Just earlier today, Li Nuo's work came to an end for the time being, so he wanted to come to Resuscitation City and use deconstruction to see the situation of the Pure Light Wizard and the Metal Ancestral Dragon.

This sight made his hair stand on end.

It turned out that while he was obsessed with developing magic and mechanical spirits, Lamont, the pure light wizard, and Pais Dinda, a metal wizard from the Horale gathering, had already visited the Necronomicon sect.

What happened during their trip was something Li Nuo didn't expect.

That Pais Dinda actually turned into a metal dragon in front of the Spider Mother monk, and asked to meet the ritual master, Demon Bones.

Since Pais Dinda is already a synthetic human in a sense, Li Nuo cannot obtain his memory fragments.

Li Nuo had no choice but to do the next best thing and read Lamont's memory fragments to learn about the meeting between Pais Dinda and the Demon Bones.

Fortunately, when Pais Dinda met with Demon Bones, Lamont was allowed to observe, otherwise Li Nuo would not have been able to discover the shady dealings between the Necromancer Cult and the Metal Ancestral Dragon.

The two of them are planning to sacrifice the creatures in the Resurrection City to meet the conditions for opening the pollution field.

There are currently 600,000 people in Recovery City.

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

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

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

From an intuitive point of view, sacrificing a city of people will only gain 900,000 soul energy points. Is this still a long way from opening the pollution field?

No, no, that's not the case.

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

But if living beings are used as sacrifices to perform sacrificial rituals, then only about 1 million living beings are needed to open the pollution field.

Li Nuo didn't know much about the rituals to open the pollution field. He only knew that the Necromancer Sect and the Metal Archaeolian Dragon could indeed rely on rituals to do this.

"Knowing these things, and looking back at Tatis' Day of Resurrection... I can only say that there is something fishy among the cabinet ministers around the emperor."

Li Nuo sighed in his heart.

He knew about the conspiracy of the Necromancer Cult and the Metal Archaeodra, but he had no evidence to prove it.

It can be said that it is a fantasy to let Most try his best to stop the Festival of Recovery based on his own worries and speculations.

Watching disasters happen is not Li Nuo's style, not to mention that he had previously promised the Assassination Angel to delay the opening of the pollution field as much as possible.

He always has to do something to deal with the assassination angel who appears in front of him in the future.

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

That night, after dinner with Most, Li Nuo did not go back immediately.

He and Norin each controlled a dozen mechanical spirits and quickly explored along the railway of Resuscitation City.

In this era, the main means of transportation in the Tatis Empire is the train.

As long as the railway is destroyed, the circulation speed of people will be greatly reduced.

How to destroy the railway without making people suspicious or causing casualties is a technical job that requires careful planning.

More than 30 mechanical spirits spread out along the railways extending in all directions, flying towards the hinterland of the empire.

This exploration journey lasted for most of the night, and finally as the sun was about to rise, Li Nuo and Norin found a suitable location to destroy the railway.

These locations are located in mountainous areas.

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

A small landslide can render a nearby railway impassable.

But don't underestimate the power of imperial workers. In up to three days, the stones on the railway will be cleared and the crooked rails 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 just enough to make the railway tracks irreparable.

This required him to use geotechnical magic to transform the foundation under the railway tracks.

An underground cavity formed due to vibration and rain erosion may lead to a large-scale collapse at any time, which will undoubtedly put the entire railway into a state of crisis.

Li Nuo spent three days transforming the soil under six railways and creating six underground cavities.

Throughout the process, he used the "veil of separation" to cover up his actions without letting anyone notice his existence.

With the roar of landslides, the tracks of six railways were submerged by huge rock fragments in five days. The trains passing the incident site pulled the emergency brake, and the train driver looked at the rocks blocking the road in shock. Ui, couldn't stop sweating coldly.

Workers who came to clear and repair the railway tracks discovered the underground cavity under the railway track. Then, the railway track was deactivated until the underground cavity was manually filled again before it could be used again.

In five days, six tracks were taken out of service.

The growth rate of the migrant population in Fuxing City has suddenly slowed down.

Technical officials attribute the frequent occurrence of natural disasters in a short period of time to the pressure on rail capacity. In other words, they believe that too frequent rail transportation has led to the emergence of underground cavities.

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

Remarkably, he did not bring all the railroads to a standstill.

The railroads responsible for transporting soldiers, supplies and medicine were not affected.

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

Li Nuo just wanted to prevent the population from concentrating towards Recovery City, not to destroy Recovery City.

Just when Li Nuo thought his plan was a success, an unexpected change surprised him.

The Emperor, who had strongly opposed wizards entering the empire in the past, uncharacteristically requested magical support from the Ring of Unas this time.

A support team composed of earth line wizards and foreign metal wizards soon came to the empire through the portal and began to replace the mortal laborers to repair the railway tracks and fill the underground holes.

Wizards are wizards after all.

After careful exploration and detection, they concluded that these holes should be man-made and that someone was deliberately sabotaging the operation of the railway.

Fiery notices appeared on the front pages of various newspapers and periodicals, harshly condemning the Necron Cult's actions of sabotaging the railways.

Li Nuo couldn't be happy when he saw that the Necromancer Sect took the blame for him, and even felt a little ridiculous...

He suffered from the fact that there was no evidence to prove the evil intentions of the Necromancer Sect, the Pure Light Tribunal and the Metal Archosaur, so he could only disrupt the operation of the railway to reduce future disasters.

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

"Isn't this a thankless job for me?"

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

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

Li Nuo thought for a while and wrote an anonymous letter to Most, reminding him that the polluted underground river under the Resuscitation City might become the source of disaster that swallowed up the entire city.

After completing this step, Li Nuo didn't bother to care about Moster's reaction and completely put aside the matter of Resuscitation City.

Now, he only needs to continue to make the mechanical spirit and wait patiently for the appearance of the "Netherworld Steel Forest".

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

On the fourth underground floor of Island No. 33, various magical energies appeared in the energy storage array that shone faintly.

Up to 300 billion points of magic energy stay here, causing weak but frightening energy fluctuations in the air.

If you are not careful, the place will be ignited by "sparks" and the entire island will be blown into the sky.

Li Nuo had to arrange these magical energies as soon as possible to prevent himself from making the headlines in the Unas Ring newspaper and becoming a talked-about magical lunatic.

That night, in the dead of night.

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

The last time he performed the ceremony, Li Nuo used relatively few active magic materials from the alien space. This time, the number reached 15.

Selina finally bought this for Li Nuo through her own connections, and she even took a little risk of being discovered by the Ministry of Magic.

Of course, it wouldn't be a big deal if he was discovered. At most, he could just pay a fine and clear his name.

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

The gray soul energy flows rapidly along the magic chain of the magic circle.

Li Nuo raised his head and looked upward.

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

He concentrated on the stars that appeared at the edge of the stars.

The energy fluctuations in the ritual circle became intense, and except for the star that Li Nuo stared at, all the other star points disappeared without a trace.

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

He relaxed his mind and let his consciousness leave his body and float towards the stars.

After passing through the purple-black mist, Li Nuo once again saw the core of the "escaped" plane that he had met once before.

"I noticed that the magic energy and soul energy around you are very abundant."

"The energy needed to release the sub-plane is ready. I will take away the energy around you. After this ceremony is over, you will be able to discover the existence of that sub-plane by observing the stars."

"I have placed dimensional shackles in the sub-plane that only allow you to enter, but this cannot completely prevent other extraordinary people from entering. If the wizards in your world are powerful enough, they may enter the sub-plane one step ahead of you and then occupy it. There. So, please enter the sub-plane as soon as possible and seal it."

"Escape"'s way of speaking has not changed, and he is still conveying several pieces of information to Li Nuo at the same time.

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

At the same time, the magical energy on the fourth underground floor of Island No. 33 converged towards the ritual circle on the fifth underground floor.
