Chapter 134 Adjustment and Encounter
Just as Benjamin predicted.
After once again experiencing the fear of the sky being torn apart, the deadlock at the negotiating table was broken at an inexplicable speed.
The joint declaration of His Majesty the King and the high priest of the temple indicates that the will of the gods has come.
The conflict between humans and orcs was temporarily shelved, and a hasty but rigorous covenant was quickly reached under the witness of the gods.
Although the Elf Kingdom maintained partial neutrality, its delegation also signed a "non-aggression treaty" and promised to provide resource assistance when necessary.
A general offensive against "foreign demons" was put on the agenda.
The entire city of Elosia, at the moment the alliance was reached, was like a ignited powder keg, instantly plunged into a boiling frenzy.
Conscription notices were posted all over the streets and alleys, trumpets sounded one after another, and the powerful sound waves shook the sky.
The blacksmith shop roared all night long, flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the night sky red, and countless swords and armors were made day and night.
The city guards in silver armor patrolled back and forth with sharp eyes and high spirits. Compared with usual days, they seemed more solemn and excited.
Benjamin stood on the balcony high up in the mansion, overlooking the city ignited by the passion of war.
He could clearly feel that an unprecedented powerful force was rising from every corner of the royal capital - it was a huge earthly aura composed of fear, anger, fanaticism, piety and hatred!
During this period, the amount of earthly energy stored in the space within his body grew in an exaggerated manner. It was more active than ever before, but also more complex than ever before.
"The time has come." Benjamin looked up at the sky.
At night, under the cover of darkness, Benjamin quietly moved through every dark corner of the royal capital.
He followed the rune traces he had discovered during the day and accurately found the various nodes of the three large magic arrays he had discovered.
The first magic circle is located on the east side of the royal capital, underground in an abandoned temple.
The air was filled with the smell of decay and was covered with cobwebs.
Jemin put on special gloves, his fingertips gleaming with light as he lightly touched the runes carved on the stone wall.
He closed his eyes, immersed his mental power into it, activated the analysis technique for the first time in a long time, and felt the flow of energy within the rune.
Like a surgeon, he used this rune as a starting point to accurately explore the lesions of the entire magic circle.
Soon, with his knowledge, he discovered several subtle structural flaws and irregularities in the energy circuit.
Jeming took out several special rune pens and refined monster crystal cores from the space expansion bag, and made fine adjustments and improvements to these runes without destroying the original structure.
He used a rune pen to draw several hidden extension lines on the edge of the original rune. These lines were cleverly integrated into the energy circuit of the magic circle like blood vessels.
After solving the problem of this magic circle, he moved to the area of the second magic circle.
It was located under an ancient well in the north of the royal capital, connected to the city's complex underground water veins.
It is more humid here and filled with the fishy smell of earth.
Jieming used the same trick again and made the same fine-tuning and optimization to this set of magic circles.
He even incorporated his understanding of spiritual veins from the immortal cultivation system into it, allowing the formation to better utilize underground water veins as a medium for energy conduction.
While he was busy here, concentrating on correcting the runes, suddenly a warning came from Jieming's Five Elements Rainbow Mirror.
Through the keen perception of the Eye of Investigation, Jieming caught a hint of "strange" aura.
However, the other party soon noticed Benjamin's presence. It seemed that it was also carrying out some secret activities in this area. It had no intention of meeting Benjamin, but quietly went away.
Benjamin's heart moved, but he did not stop what he was doing: "Other wizards...?"
The last set of magic arrays is located in the southern part of the royal city, deep in an abandoned noble mansion.
After arriving at this mansion, Benjamin couldn't help but admire that the creator of this magic circle had good skills and chose a very suitable location.
In the words of the immortal cultivation system, this mansion is connected to the "dead" area of the royal capital, and it is indeed an excellent place to set up an array.
However, because of this reason, this place seems extremely gloomy and the air is filled with the smell of corruption.
This magic circle was of good quality and there was nothing that needed to be changed. After checking it, Benjamin quietly retreated.
When a hint of dawn appeared in the eastern sky, Benjamin returned to his mansion quietly.
Without taking a break, he walked straight into the secret room, looking tiredly but excitedly at the map of the underground rune network of the royal capital on the table, which he had repeatedly outlined and revised.
The three large magic arrays in the picture now appeared clearer in his eyes.
After repeated checks and confirmation that there were no problems, Jieming wiped the blueprint with his hand and it automatically burned up: "The preliminary preparations are complete, and the next step is to find a time to start it."
When asked when it would start, Benjamin's answer was the sooner the better.
Simply put, today!
…
…
The day passed quickly again, and the night was like thick ink, shrouding the city of Elosia in a deep silence.
The hustle and bustle of the streets had long since died down, leaving only the occasional flickering magical streetlights, casting mottled light and shadows on the wet stone slabs.
However, deep beneath the city, another scene is quietly unfolding.
Benjamin's figure was like a ghost, silently shuttling through the crisscrossing sewers of the royal capital.
The cold sewage was ankle-deep, and the air was filled with the smell of decay and dampness.
Occasionally, a few fat mice would be startled by Benjamin and run past his feet in panic.
But he didn't care about it. He used his reconnaissance eyes at full power, scanning every inch of the surrounding space in great detail.
He has decided to activate those magic circles tonight.
Once these arrays are activated, there is no turning back.
Since the action was imminent, he no longer concealed anything. The powerful mental power spread wildly in all directions with him as the center, sweeping every corner of the sewer, searching for any possible enemies.
However, the originally quiet sewer seemed unusually lively tonight.
"Um?"
His moving figure suddenly stopped.
His fully open reconnaissance eyes captured several abnormal energy fluctuations.
These energies all carry obvious witchcraft resonance!
"Oh, you're not pretending anymore? It seems everyone has the same idea." Benjamin curled his lips.
Considering the consensus of the wizards, Benjamin did not approach rashly, but chose a hidden corner and waited quietly.
Soon, four blurry figures came silently from different directions and converged on the area where he was.
Each of them was agile and familiar with the complex terrain of the sewer. It was obvious that they had been active here for quite some time.
