Chapter 545: Ruins of Lordaeron
Shattrath, Old Town.
There was a constant clanging sound in the blacksmith shop. Rubart put down the forging hammer in his hand and nodded slightly. This was the seventh set of armor he had forged in the past few days.
Zeb Velik saw that the other party had completed the work and said anxiously:
"Sir, please try it on quickly."
His already limited hair was messy, and his exposed scalp looked even more oily.
He invested a lot of effort in the new magic circle, and after continuous improvements, the magic circle has become increasingly perfect.
As long as he can achieve results, Rubart is willing to submit an application to request the Holy See to conduct research on new energy storage cores. This is what he cares about most.
"Don't worry, let me rest for a while and wait for the temperature of the armor to drop."
Rubart stroked his forehead speechlessly. He had witnessed the enthusiasm of his partner these days.
He is already an old man and only at the third-level extraordinary level. I don’t know why he has so much energy.
Zebu smiled awkwardly, pulled over two chairs, and said flatteringly, "Sir, please sit down."
The two rested for half an hour, and Rubate put on his armor and practiced breathing techniques.
When he injected the source of life into the armor, as the rune array was activated, the golden pattern on the chest lit up.
With the chest as the core, all the runes on the armor lit up like water flowing through a channel.
The body is covered in strands of gold, and the patterns on the head are like blooming silver flowers.
The light flickered a few times and turned matte.
Rubate closed his eyes and felt it carefully.
He felt as if there was an invisible helmet inside his visor, tightly protecting his head.
Not only that, he also felt an extra layer of gauze around his sea of consciousness, which made him feel at ease for no reason.
Zeb stared at Rubart who was feeling it with his eyes closed, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously. He wanted to ask the other party how he felt, but was worried about disturbing the other party's test.
At this moment, he felt that time was so long, and the jumping of the fire seemed to become slower.
He held his breath, carefully observing the other person's expression, and his face unconsciously moved closer.
When Zebu's students saw this, they realized that their teacher had fallen into a frenzy again, and turned their heads away embarrassedly.
When Rubart opened his eyes, he suddenly saw an old face approaching his face, and subconsciously took a step back.
"What are you going to do?"
His action also frightened the old magician. Zebu leaned back reflexively, laughed dryly a few times, and said:
"I wanted to know immediately whether the magic circle was effective, but you closed your eyes and said nothing. I had to get closer to observe the changes in your expression to see if I could find any signs."
Rubart let out a barely perceptible breath. He had witnessed his partner's fanatical research attitude in recent days, so he didn't feel so strange about his behavior now.
He smiled, and two rows of white teeth appeared on his red face illuminated by the fire:
"Very successful. I think the magic circle is effective, but it needs to be tested in actual combat."
"What are we waiting for? Let's go and find an evil spirit that can release mental shock abilities."
Because of the properties of the golden light potion, the church has long begun to train ordinary people with strong will to become spirit masters.
Thousands of evil spirits are imprisoned in the underground vault of the Silver Dawn.
Rubate was now accustomed to the other party's impetuous temper, and went with him out of the blacksmith shop and to the secret vault.
The application for the test was quickly approved after it was submitted, and Janice went to the site in person to wait for the results.
Nick, Flanders, and even the gods were very interested in this plan, and she wanted to see what results had been achieved.
In the sealed room, the last ray of light was swallowed up by darkness. The walls, floor and ceiling of the room had been specially treated so that evil spirits could not pass through at all.
The person selected to carry out the test mission was a new recruit who had just become a superhuman not long ago - Donny Robert, who had barely condensed the source of life.
The evil spirits that can be used to train spirit masters are all at the first-order extraordinary level. Due to the characteristics of the church's extraordinary skills, the evil spirits dare not possess high-level extraordinary people.
I don’t know how many evil spirits were released. Pale shadows flashed in the darkness, and there were bursts of strange noises.
Donny felt as if there was wind blowing past his ears. Occasionally, there were some strange laughs and faint murmurs in the room.
The voice seemed to be made by a creature that did not exist in this world, and was filled with a creepy evil aura.
How unlucky I am to be chosen to do such a weird experiment!
Tony was terrified, and injected the source of life into the armor as instructed. There was a few rays of light in the deep darkness.
He immediately felt a sense of security rising, and his uneasy heart gradually settled.
"Come on, I'm not afraid of you!"
He roared, clenching his fists to cheer himself up.
Suddenly, a pale shadow floated before his eyes, like a woman in white clothes with long flowing hair.
His body leaned back reflexively, and he stepped back subconsciously, and suddenly found himself bumping into a soft body.
Just when the shadow floating in front of him was about to completely blend into the darkness, its head turned 180 degrees and gave him a strange smile.
That person's face was exactly the same as mine.
Donnie screamed, pumping more life force into the armor.
Outside the secret room, Rubate asked:
“How does this test work?”
In his opinion, the spiritual pollution caused by ordinary evil spirits is limited and it is difficult for them to pose a threat to the extraordinary people in the church.
Although the tester is a newbie, the level of the evil spirit is also average.
Zebu smiled and began to teach his partner some occult knowledge:
“After our research, we discovered a very peculiar scene.
If a large number of low-level evil spirits gather together, they can form a more powerful evil energy field.
This experiment released a lot of evil spirits, which was enough to cause strong mental pollution to a second-level extraordinary person and make the tester have hallucinations. The evil laws would inevitably taint the tester's spirituality.
If the test subject is not contaminated or is only slightly contaminated, it means our magic circle is successful!"
When he got excited, Zebu couldn't help but snap his fingers.
Because of this characteristic of evil spirits, the church spared no effort to clear out the monsters and evil spirits around the city, for fear that these things would become numerous in the future and pose a great threat.
Janice looked at her pocket watch and said:
"It's almost time to open the secret room."
"Wait a little longer," Zeb said, "The test subject will be fine. Even if he is possessed by an evil spirit, he can be saved."
He wanted to better verify the effect of the magic circle.
Janice's expression was slightly cold, and the other party's attitude made people uncomfortable.
In recent years, the church has attached great importance to these research talents, and the Silver Dawn troops have often received tasks to cooperate with experiments.
These fanatical researchers can be scary when they go crazy. In order to obtain better test results and data, they often disregard the personal safety of the subjects.
Seeing her expression change, Zebu thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly said with a smile: "Archbishop, please open the secret room in 30 seconds, okay?
This experiment is related to Archbishop Nick's instructions, and the experimental results must be accurate."
Janice looked at her pocket watch again with a cold face: "25 seconds left. 20 seconds. 5 seconds. Open the door!"
The secret room was opened a crack, and everyone immediately heard a hysterical roar:
"Get lost!"
Zebu's face lit up with joy. He hadn't fallen down after such a long time. The magic circle was successful.
With the entry of several high-level extraordinary beings, many evil spirits immediately huddled in the corner and began to tremble.
Although evil spirits are spiritual creatures, they are also afraid of the strong bullying the weak.
Rubart stepped forward and held down Donnie. After checking his mental state, he shouted, "We succeeded. He is not contaminated in any way!"
Janice cast a clearing spell, and Donnie, who was on the verge of emotional collapse, gradually calmed down.
At Moya Manor, Crown stayed in the laboratory, immersed in alchemy experiments.
The proficiency of skills such as the Golden Light Mantra and the Sun and Moon Rotation Technique increased as slowly as a snail, but the improvement of alchemy was like a wild horse galloping in the wilderness.
He created many novel materials. Although he didn't know what these materials would be used for or what changes they would bring to the world, his ever-increasing proficiency was the best reward.
He seemed to have returned to the purest time when he first came into this world. At that time, the improvement of his proficiency in each skill could bring him a sense of security.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Now, the advancement of alchemy brought him the pure joy of acquiring knowledge.
If you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening. He now vaguely understood the mental state of the sage in another world.
Just as he was traveling in the ocean of truth, a golden seed of Tao began to flicker in his sea of consciousness.
Crown stopped the experiment, summoned the golden wall, took a look, and began to check the information transmitted.
[Alchemy: 40275/500000; Level 6]
Generally speaking, if it is not a particularly urgent matter, no one will pass on information to him through the Dao Seed.
The message came from Eliza, it was short but packed with information.
'The city of Lordaeron has undergone a drastic change. The city has been attacked by some kind of plague and has almost been completely destroyed.
The plague is highly contagious, and only those above the silver level can barely resist it.'
His right eye twitched suddenly, and Crown's expression became serious.
The word "the whole city fell" is too heavy, as Lordaeron has a population of 700,000 to 800,000.
Behind the cold numbers, there must be a hell on earth.
He gave Eliza instructions: "I will go to Lordaeron first, and you send a squadron of the Knights of the Silver Hand to follow. When the time comes, have them contact me to confirm the rendezvous point."
It is very likely that the newly emerged evil god was responsible for the incident. He did not expect that the evil god could not only spread spiritual pollution and corrupt mankind, but also spread plague.
I was careless and made the mistake of empiricism.
Crown took a deep breath, walked out of the castle and gathered his divine power.
He floated above the manor and called out to the Fire Dragon. The more than ten-meter-long giant beast crawled affectionately at his feet.
The golden sun law was like a dividing line, splitting the sky, extending towards the northwest of the city, and finally disappearing in the vast gray fog.
…
The majestic golden light was like a giant ship riding the wind and waves. The gray fog seemed to have consciousness and automatically parted, leaving a clear path of fire in the air.
When Crown landed more than ten kilometers outside of Lordaeron, he couldn't help but sigh.
This place has turned into a dark green ocean. The strange red insects covering the sky have formed a hurricane connecting the sky and the earth, dancing gracefully in the bright silver light of the Moon Soul Spirit Light Array.
Obviously, these non-purifying magic arrays cannot cause any harm to these strange insects.
The protection array of Lordaeron was open, protecting only the cathedral area.
He gathered his divine power and moved closer to the city. Slowly, he heard a "buzzing" sound. The sound became louder and louder, and then converged into a few words.
'Boat Zuka Mog'
Like a spell, she moaned wildly in his ears.
Apart from the noise made by the strange insects, there was no other sound, as if this place had become the kingdom of the insects.
A strong stench of decay came, and Clown blocked his breathing, relying only on the internal circulation of divine power to supply energy to his body.
The strange insect also discovered him and the fire dragon, and separated from the giant whirlwind and attacked them in an overwhelming manner.
A group of insects that had barely entered the extraordinary level actually launched an attack first, and the Flame Dragon felt that his dignity was challenged.
A rapid dragon roar was heard, and those strange insects flying into the sky suddenly began to stagger, as if they were drunk, and fell down.
The dragon's roar shook the void, but it was like stirring up a hornet's nest. The strange insects surrounding the church area changed direction and pounced towards the fire dragon.
The Flame Dragon was completely enraged and increased its dragon power to the limit, spewing out a ball of dragon breath that flashed with light golden color.
A fire cloud appeared in the sky, and the strange insects that were hit first turned into ashes in the flames, but they still kept flying towards this side, as if they had no idea what fear was.
Klauen frowned slightly, and divine light shone from his body.
Like the scorching sun sweeping away the evil spirits, the strange insects in the sky turned into wisps of red and green poisonous mist under the law of the sun, and were purified in the next moment.
In St. George's Cathedral, Leo Duma, who was beginning to show signs of aging, suddenly looked up and said, "I think the noises of the insects have become much quieter. How about you?"
Ever since his failed attempt to reach level 6, his physical condition has been deteriorating as he had burned too much vitality at that time.
But he did not regret it. The evil god was getting closer and closer. The sooner he broke through, the more hope he would have of survival.
How could a fifth-level transcendent be able to sit back and relax?
Even if he died, he would die on the way to charge.
In the church, the survivors all had sad faces. The sudden accident caught everyone off guard.
Their families and comrades fell one after another, and they didn't even have a chance to be rescued.
The church area was also polluted, and ordinary people were almost exterminated.
When they heard the archbishop's words and were about to listen, they felt the vibration of the majestic law coming from the void.
It was as if I was hit in the chest with a huge force and I couldn't breathe for a moment.
Leo stood up suddenly. This was the fluctuation of divine power. The fiery and unrestrained fluctuation of the law was the manifestation of the divine sun law.
As soon as he rushed to the church door, he saw the gods had already landed.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent and have brought trouble to the city of Lordaeron."
He cried bitterly, fearing that this city, which he had managed for many years, would never be able to recover.
Silver light flashed on Crown's body, and the law of the moon soothed the hearts of those who were still alive.
He used his divine power to check on everyone's situation and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the worst situation did not happen. The silver blood of extraordinary people above level four can resist the plague law.
It should be because these plagues were not released by the evil god, otherwise the entire Lordaeron would not be spared.
"You can't resist the laws of the evil god. I just took a rough look at the situation in the city. There are not many living people here.
I have ordered the Silver Hand to come here on a spaceship, and you will evacuate together then."
The dark green plague law is not only deadly, but also highly corrosive.
Except for the church area, which was the only remaining pure land, the corpses in other areas had been corroded into a pool of meat paste, and even some buildings had collapsed due to corrosion.
This majestic city in the far north of the kingdom has become a ruin filled with plague.
