"To little friend Lovie Brook:"
"I hope this letter has not disturbed you. If it has, please allow me to apologize for being thousands of miles apart."
"Originally I shouldn't bother you in this way, but I made some discoveries while recovering my power that I think you should know about."
Listening to Athetana read out the content, the exiled demon god was as humble as ever.
The letter stated that Urs found some obscure clues about the past in the process of hunting down the Mechanic Cult and recovering the power of the Demon God. The facts pointed to the fact that after the Mechanic Goddess fell, the entire sect was exploited by unknown forces. It developed into the taboo-exploring cult it is now.
And the traces he found were——
Fallen angel.
As early as hundreds of years ago, angels with vaguely dark wings got involved in the Mechanic God Cult.
I see.
Rowe came to some conclusions.
In the past in White Harbor Town, after the Mechanic God Cult failed, the fallen angel went to the volcano to recover the aura of the ancient god the next day. His sudden movement towards the camera even startled Saya.
I thought it was the high power given by their master that made them aware of it, but now it seems that it is because they themselves have enough understanding of magical creations.
Are the two related?
This makes the restoration of the Mechanic Cult in White Harbor Town seem like an abandoned child for the sake of some experiment.
"Everyone, listen to me."
After using the sound-transmitting jewelry to explain the inference, Luo Wei emphasized that the answer to the abandoned son was a bold assumption he made, but if all that was really prepared for the current conspiracy in Crownless City, it meant that there was something wrong with the previous speculation about the Craftsmen's Guild. deviation.
——This is not a plan that is limited to Wuguan City for more than ten years or decades.
Rather, it was a huge premeditated plan that had been prepared for hundreds of years and executed everywhere.
"..."
Several people were silent for a long time after listening. Eluse looked over and seemed to say, I didn't expect you to have solved such an incident.
At the same time, she seemed a little surprised that she was not excluded from such a conversation.
"We might as well combine the two first," Athetana said solemnly, "Let's see what conclusions can be drawn first, and maybe in turn we can verify the authenticity of the clues."
"...In this case, I have a hypothesis." Ayi Ning closed her eyes and said, "Do you still remember what caused the open dispute in Crownless City?"
That is……
The Hooffire Empire's ancient magic weapon plan.
Several people were silent for a moment again, and Shaye frowned.
"What you mean is that the Mechanical God's Cult, Fallen Angels, Craftsmen's Guild, and Ancient Magical Weapons...are all connected?"
"That's right," Ayi Ning nodded, "Although this is also my bold guess, doesn't it seem too coincidental? The Hoof Fire Empire wants to build magical weapons, the fallen angels are related to the mechanic faction, and the craftsmen will be related to the fallen angels. The angels are closely connected again. Looking back at the beginning, could it be that the time when the Hooffire Empire obtained that blueprint was just right, coinciding with the plot of the Artisans Guild?"
"You mean, maybe the craftsman would leak that design drawing on purpose?"
"Hmm...but there is no substantial evidence."
The causal relationship seemed to become clearer, but Shaye's brows still did not loosen.
"But the question is, if the blueprints were released by the craftsmen, why would they let the Hoof Fire Empire attack their city?"
"This..." Ayi Ning pondered for a moment, this is indeed something that cannot be explained.
But there might be some internal reason, which they haven't known yet.
"Before the truth is revealed, the motives are always contradictory," Rowe said noncommittally, looking down at the power mark, "I want to confirm first that the God of Bones and Blood has indeed not left any traces on you, right, Athetana? ?」
"Eh……?"
Athetana didn't expect that she would suddenly point at herself. After she understood, she showed a helpless smile.
"Don't worry, I have repeatedly confirmed long ago that there will not be any seeds of conspiracy brewing in me."
When she and the God of Bones and Blood were in the same ceremony, the other person's consciousness completely disappeared after it was over. She was sure that there was no residue.
As the mother goddess of beasts,
Am I so disturbing...
Luo Wei nodded, already having some suspicion in his mind.
"Let's read the next letter."
The other letter was sent by Loveli Tosaya.
Related to Ayi Ning.
Lovely sent a reconnaissance team from Gray River Town along the Kingdom Road to White Harbor Town, and found a bizarre ruins with very new traces underground in Yechen City.
Out of caution, they let a trained dog tied to the surveillance projection enter, but the picture was affected the moment they entered, unable to capture anything, and the dog failed to come back.
A large area of anti-magic barrier?
"Is Saiya still there?" Luo Wei asked, "Stop that reconnaissance team and continue to investigate along the road to White Harbor Town. Also ask for news about Anaining on the way."
"I'm... okay, I understand, and I will tell the princess."
Ayi Ning looked at him at a loss, not knowing what to say. When facing these things, he was really rare to be serious.
but……
She didn't expect that the things she avoided could actually be related to the mechanic faction.
Luo Wei raised his gaze and looked at everyone with gloomy eyes.
"Since everything has appeared in the Lion Garden, I am not sure whether it is the machinist's conspiracy or Prime Minister Randall's method, but what is clear is that Randall must have a lot of knowledge about this matter, so that the brat also Be prepared."
"oh oh……"
Ayi Ning and Yi Lusi frowned.
Did he just slip up or something? He actually called the fifth princess of Shiyuan a brat?
Only Shaye looked at him with contempt.
Rowe continued:
"Everyone, I think it is no coincidence that these two letters were delivered one after another. I am afraid that the plans of all parties have entered the next stage. If nothing else, unexpected forces will appear ahead."
Is this an accident or not...
Several people stood up one after another, and it seemed that there was nothing to hesitate about.
"Ah, what you said is so complicated..." Lu Yi didn't care about that much, she just wanted to end the exploration and go back to play, "Come on, come on~"
Shaye hung up her spear and took another look at Luo Wei.
"You keep having this conversation because someone is watching us?"
"I have no idea……"
Luo Wei smiled bitterly. He hoped that he was overly worried. After all, he was not sure whether the person hiding behind him was the person he knew.
However, having already suffered two losses, this feeling of not knowing if anyone was looking at me was really unpleasant, and I even wanted to go back and throw some heat on Saya.
If this continues, he may feel it with a shudder even if there is no anti-magic equipment one day.
"Let's start the normal conversation," Luo Wei said the last thing through voice transmission, "I'll leave the breath detection to you, Ayi Ning."
"Understood."
"Okay, okay, hurry up and follow~" Lu Yi couldn't wait to speak. She had been holding back for a long time.
Several people walked along the open-air ruins under the starry sky and soon arrived at a teleportation circle.
After receiving the conclusion from Athetana that it had not been tampered with, Rowe took the lead in stepping in.
The field of vision is falling.
This is a vertical passage, surrounded by ancient-style walls. He used his dagger to draw a magic platform, and waited until several others came down one after another before jumping down together.
Except that he had the ability to float and fly, there was nothing to worry about. After falling for more than ten minutes, Shaye reluctantly picked him up at the end, and the five of them landed safely.
Another portal appeared ahead.
"It seems to be a place like a connecting passage," Ayi Ning gave a guess and glanced up, "Now we really drove straight in."
"Going to the deep level?" Shaye tightened her grip on the gun and was ready to wake up.
No matter what is waiting for her ahead, the clues about her mentor and the Fierce Sun Spear must be not far away.
After a short wait for Athetana to confirm the portal, the five people passed through again. The field of vision in front of them changed, and the scene became a little unremarkable.
"Isn't this..." Shaye choked, but she still said it after hesitation, "Isn't it very similar to the shallow landforms of mining above? Couldn't we be sent back?"
They were currently in a mine, with crystallized ore poking out of the walls. It looked like some kind of mining holy land.
However, after a few people walked in, they soon realized that they had not been sent back.
"Jie Shen Mine." Luo Wei gave the answer.
These ores are all contaminated with divine power, absorbing the nutrients of the fallen god immersed in the earth's veins, and have properties beyond ordinary materials.
The name "Jie Shen Mine" was also chosen because it was said that if the ore bloomed one day, it would be able to produce gods.
And there are so many here.
"This place seems to have accumulated a lot of divine power, and... there is a human aura in front of it."
Humanity……?
Although they didn't speak, everyone was ready to deal with it head-on.
Following Athetana's instructions, they followed Athetana's instructions and ignored the side roads along the dirt road that was slightly narrowed by the ore. About thirty minutes later, they saw an iron gate with railings.
There are two soldiers guarding the door.
The standard military uniform he wears is decorated with the emblem of iron hoofs breaking through flames.
"!"
Shaye paused sharply.
People from the Hoof Fire Empire! ?
She originally thought she would catch the coolies who were working as craftsmen to mine here. How could soldiers from the largest country on the mainland appear in such a deep underground mine?
With a cold look on her face, she saw Luo Wei walking straight towards the soldier.
"Stop! This place has been controlled by the empire and is closed to traffic!"
"Really?" Luo Wei raised his head and looked at the surveillance projection set up in the corner, "Just sending these soldiers to guard here, do you want to condemn us from the moral high ground after I kill them?"
The sound of sizzling magical current came from the projection area.
"I don't dare," the voice said, "We just want to express our position."
"In other words," Luo Wei narrowed his eyes at the two people, "it doesn't matter if we kill them all along the way, right?"
The two soldiers immediately drew their sabers.
"...You come in and see me." The voice said.
Luo Wei ignored the other party and swung his sword lightly. The aqua blue ring passed through the two soldiers, cutting a circular gap in the iron railing, and the metal pipe fell to the ground with a clatter.
"I'm sorry then," he looked at the two soldiers who were stunned but still gesturing with their sabers, "I also have my own position."
"Wait!" The voice spoke in time, "...I'll come out to see you."
"Very good, I will only wait for you for five minutes. When the time is up, we will go in."
Ayi Ning and the others held their foreheads for a while from behind.
In terms of negotiating terms,
He still never disappoints.
Three minutes later, a short green-haired woman appeared with the help of a magic thruster. After taking off the device, she collapsed from the circle cut by Rowe.
dwarf……?
No, it seems to be a mixture of humans and dwarves. It has the physical characteristics of humans, but is only as tall as a dwarf.
"Now that you're here, I guess there's nothing to hide."
The green-haired woman said slowly.
"Let me introduce myself. I am the Western Marshal of the Hoof Fire Empire, Felica Jednoa. I hope you will not interfere with our country's covert operations here."
Marshal of the Empire West?
Ayi Ning had never thought that besides Marshal Dong Marcus, there was actually an Imperial Marshal in Wuguan City.
If she appears here at this moment, it means...
"Really... It seems you are still not sincere enough." Luo Wei walked straight towards the defenseless opponent.
At this moment, the magic power maintained by Ayi Ning sensed something and immediately sent a message to Luo Wei to remind him.
Snapped--!
He swung the anti-magic wave sword with his backhand.
A petite figure with yellow hair fell from the sky.
Luo Wei turned around and looked at the clever girl on the ground who was twitching with electricity.
"Three times."
"You really have enough."
