Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

In an open space in the Ministry of Magic building, a beam of light fell from the sky, lasting less than a second, leaving a circular magic rune on the ground. The five people standing on it were Miriam and others who had escaped death from Merlot.

Reid, who had been waiting here for a long time, walked up and asked:

"How are you? Are you not hurt?"

Miriam replied: "No, we activated the teleportation scroll immediately after rescuing the people, but your brother and Her Highness the Saint probably need to rest for a while."

Pearl said, "The room and the doctor are ready. I'll take you there right away."

Bard said: "We don't need a doctor. We are just out of magic power, not physically injured."

"That's not certain. In an environment with such strong black magic, there's no telling what kind of damage your body might suffer. A comprehensive examination is necessary."

Reid said: "Miriam is right, brother, this is our home, there is nothing to be embarrassed about."

Bud hesitated for a moment and nodded, and the group followed Pearl into a large, bright room.

The doctor carefully examined each person and found that they only had minor injuries that required simple treatment.

Miriam checked the dark magic's erosion and found that it was nothing serious.

"I said there was no problem. He locked us up as if he were sacrificing us."

Sacrifice, in Red's impression, first of all, sacrifice must have an object, and then based on the items you sacrifice, the object will give you items of equal value, or fulfill your wishes.

Who does Merlot want to sacrifice to? The devil? It is still sealed now, does it have the ability to give an item of equal value?

At this time, Angela said, "Merozi called those altars the Soul Devouring Furnace. Although I don't know what they are used for, I absolutely cannot let him complete them!"

Reid patted his chest and said:

"Don't worry! When Miriam came to find you, she had already sent the coordinates of all the altars to the artillery. When they retreat, they will use up their ammunition and destroy the altars."

Boom~boom~

"Please come in"

"Your Highness, Lord Monroe sent a telegram saying that the target has been destroyed and they have retreated at full speed. Our people stationed in the imperial capital also said that the black fog covering the sky has disappeared."

Red nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Bud and Angela:

"You should just take good care of your injuries. There are still a few months before the Demon King is resurrected. Although I don't know what conspiracy Mo Luozi has this time, it should have been destroyed by us."

Angela: "Fortunately, I gave you the magic trumpet stone, otherwise we would have really died there."

Swish!

The blood splashed directly onto Rodney's face. It was warm and even a little painful.

The great magician was killed so easily, and his body fell beside him.

"Father! Why? Why are you doing this?!"

The powerful mental shock caused Rodney's brainwashing to be on the verge of collapse, and the real scene around him began to reveal itself.

"Where is this place?"

The black spear in Coremir's hand has taken shape.

"You lied to me, Melozi! You destroyed my empire! I curse you! You will die a miserable death! You..."

Before he could finish his vicious abuse, he had already lost consciousness and fell down uncontrollably.

Coremire and Vancap each carried a corpse and teleported to the 12th node through the Soul Devouring Furnace. Melozi was silent for a while and then followed.

The twelfth node, which is the repair node, is very simple, with only an inconspicuous stone pillar. The two men threw the corpse casually and muttered incomprehensible spells, which did not seem to be human language.

The runes engraved on the stone pillar lit up, and the flesh and blood of the two corpses quickly dried up, leaving only bones.

Soon the ground began to shake, and black blood seeped out from the runes on the stone pillars. The blood turned into flesh and blood, and in a very short time it became a tall tower made of flesh and blood.

At the top of the tower was a gigantic eyeball, which fired an invisible beam of light in the direction of each of the remaining eleven nodes, then closed its eyes. When it opened its eyes again, a powerful wave of magical power emanated from it.

The remaining eleven nodes seemed to have begun to reverse time. The charred remains that had been shattered by the shells came back to life and were pulled back to their original positions by an unknown force.

Although the whole process is slow, it reveals an unstoppable force at all times, and the sky, which has just been clear, is also quietly changing.

On the other side, the alliance's army was advancing like a hot knife through butter. Rodney's army was defeated and had been shrinking its defense line. Messages requesting reinforcements were constantly sent to the palace, but no one responded.

"What should we do? What should we do?" A minister paced back and forth, muttering this sentence over and over again.

"Where did His Majesty go? Who was the person who had been following him?" asked another minister.

"I saw that it was the Great Magician Gamma with His Majesty."

"That's fine. Lord Gama is very powerful, so nothing should happen to your Majesty."

"But it's been a few days and there's no sign of His Majesty. Where on earth did he go?"

"Yes, the front line is almost overwhelmed. There are so many approval documents. How can we make a decision without His Majesty's stamp?"

"Oh, at this critical moment, I don't know where Prime Minister Mo has gone."

The ministers quarreled endlessly, and the once solemn hall now looked like a vegetable market.

Boom!

A loud noise from the sky temporarily interrupted the ministers' quarrel.

"What happened?"

A minister walked tremblingly to the window, opened it and stuck his head out, and was immediately frightened by the view in the sky and sat down on the ground.

Some ministers were curious about what could have frightened this man so much, so they also stuck their heads out and were also frightened so much that they took several steps back. Some older ministers even fainted on the ground.

Now in the sky, right above the imperial capital, two huge human faces made up of black and purple mist appeared. Upon closer inspection, one of the faces looked so similar to the current emperor Rodney, and the other was exactly the same as the great magician Gamma!

Now that dark clouds have covered the sky and blocked out the sun, and such a strange incident has occurred, the ministers can't help but imagine a lot.

After a long silence, someone finally rushed out. As if it was a chain reaction, more and more ministers ran out of the palace.

This country is finished, pack up and run.

Many merchants had noticed something was wrong a few days ago. They had already packed up their things and loaded them onto horse-drawn carriages. Today, they were heading out of the city in large numbers, causing the city gates to be blocked.

The guards at the city gate had to close the gates when they saw this. What a joke! One or two people would be fine, but now so many people are fleeing. Isn't this a rebellion? No one is allowed to leave the city without orders from above!

"What's going on ahead? Why aren't you moving?"

Toronto yelled. He was a high-ranking official in charge of the empire's finances. Although he was not the top leader, he was still a very powerful person. He was disappointed that the palace had not produced any results in the past few days, and he had prepared a way out for himself.

Today, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred. He was very glad that he was prepared. However, he did not expect that there were many smart people like him, causing the roads to be blocked. He had no choice but to get off the carriage and go to the front to see what happened.

The soldiers guarding the city might not know him, but the general next to him definitely knew him.

"Ah~ Lord Toronto, why are you here?"

"What's going on? Why are the city gates closed?"

"My Lord, these merchants are trying to run away with the empire's wealth!"

"What about the people who need to leave the city? I have something urgent to do today!"

"this......"

The general guarding the city was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

"Open the city gate! I will be responsible if anything goes wrong!"

Since someone is willing to take responsibility, the general guarding the city has no reason to shirk his responsibility. He just needs to open the door.

As for Toronto, I don't take any responsibility. I am running away with my wife and children today. Whatever happens has nothing to do with me.

After leaving the imperial capital and arriving in the suburbs, Toronto's carriage began to accelerate at full speed, leaving a large group of businessmen behind. He even thought the horse was not running fast enough, so he grabbed the whip and rope himself. The poor horse was almost whipped into a top by him.

There is only one word in Toronto's mind now: fast!

Every noble knows some magic to a certain extent, some are gifted, some are mediocre. Toronto is one of those who doesn't have much talent and doesn't work hard, but even he can sense that the magic around him is extremely violent.

Nothing good will happen. Escape! You must escape! Otherwise you will die!

boom!

The carriage overturned, and his wife and children fell to the ground. The horse was killed on the spot and had a bleeding head. Toronto thought he was running too fast and didn't see what was in front of him. However, when he woke up, he found that there was really nothing in front of him. So what did he hit?

He reached out his hand and found that he was blocked by an invisible barrier. Nothing could pass through. He was in despair. He didn't know how far this invisible wall extended.

Boom!

There was a sound from the sky again, and the strange change began again. The two faces began to dry up, and finally turned into white bones. He felt difficulty breathing, and when he lowered his head, he saw that his arms had also become dry.

Although he had little magical talent, he could clearly feel his magic power draining away and flowing towards the sky.
