The matter came to an end after the palace blockade was opened. All the night blades in the city returned to their posts. The well-trained operators quickly cleaned up the remaining demons in the city and the debris left by these demons.
The corpse of the demon will quickly dissipate within a period of time after the gate of hell disappears. This is because other planes reject creatures like demons.
Otherwise, this kind of race with extremely strong vitality, frighteningly fast reproduction speed, and ridiculously easy way to become stronger will soon invade other worlds crazily through the plane gaps that accidentally appear.
This rejection of demons in all planes is a guarantee that prevents these demons from taking all planes as their own. After all, there is no macho doom in this world who can kill the entire hell by himself.
However, this also brings some trouble to the subsequent damage reduction. The body parts of the devil, including bones, blood, heart, etc., are very good fire alchemy raw materials. With proper processing, they can be made into various potions. Even a magic weapon.
Because of the rejection of the plane, the people responsible for cleaning up the aftermath, called "scavengers", must quickly collect the remains of these demons.
Otherwise, due to rejection, these corpses will quickly turn into the most basic "magic power". Although it also has the benefit of speeding up meditation for mages, it is still inferior to precious alchemy materials.
Most scavengers choose to deal with the corpses of butchers and beholders outside the city. The body parts of these high-level demons are very valuable. The butcher's broadsword and spine, and the eyeballs and neurons of the beholder all reduce the cost this time. The loot necessary for the loss of the royal city.
As for the demon corpses in the city, they are regarded as rewards for those professionals who voluntarily participated in defending the royal city. These gains are enough for them to make a fortune, but those who lost their lives will no longer be happy about it. .
The damage caused by the Hell's Gate incident was very great, but the damage was generally not bad.
The city wall area where the Gate of Hell appears has been completely reduced to ruins by the large-scale battlefield magic of Stevenson School of Magic and the double baptism of the Forbidden Army, and is almost a desolate flat land.
But you must know that the city wall area is not what Wangcheng cares about in the final analysis, and the losses it occupies may be less than 10% of the total losses.
The other 20% basically came from the destruction of the city by purgatory worms and bull ghosts. A considerable number of wealthy businessmen died, a large number of houses in commercial and residential areas were destroyed, a large number of goods were destroyed, and a series of shops were also destroyed. It may go bankrupt due to this incident, and the subsequent consequences will be very troublesome.
What follows is the loss caused by casualties, which is about 10%. The city guards, who are not very powerful soldiers, suffered heavy losses in resisting this invasion, with a mortality rate of up to 30%, and almost the same. The serious injury rate is absolutely disastrous.
The only good news is that Aleister will not be stingy with the pension, and the soldiers who survived the war will definitely be rewarded, and even be valued by the nobles to join the ranks of private soldiers who are treated very well in comparison.
The last sixty percent actually came from the battle between the special operations team unknown to the public and Pernia and Colin.
Just dozens of ridiculously expensive reality stabilizing anchors were damaged. They are usually used as regional void suppression tools and can be used for hundreds of years as long as they are regularly maintained. In this battle, they were treated like alchemy bombs. The cost of detonating in large quantities can be imagined.
There is also the loss of one of the kingdom's most important prisons, the Fallen One's Bottom...
…
"I'm not saying that the prisons in our kingdom are a little too lax. I just showed my identity and was able to come in. There was no inspection or anything like that."
In the Echo Lodge tavern, Ciel, Wang Yu, Aviya, Sieg and Shuguein were sitting at a table. There was a lot of food piled on the table. Basically, Wang Yu was eating. Ya also ate some with him, and the other three didn't do much.
Ciel's expression was somewhat exaggerated, revealing his doubts about how easily the Abyssal Fallen's base could be breached. Logically speaking, as the kingdom's most stringent prison for void-related matters, its defense should never be so easily breached. penetration.
Wang Yu raised his eyebrows and continued to eat the steak in his hand. He was actually quite curious. How could such a place with such tight defense and confidentiality be unknown to him before this incident? It was so easy to be broken through by Colin.
"Do you know why it was so easy to let you in?" The professor looked at Charles with a smile.
"I don't know, what's the matter? What else can I say?" Charles scratched his head.
"If you dare to continue going down that staircase, you will never come out again." Xiugeyin took a puff of cigarette, took a casual sip of the ale on the table, and raised his glass to signal to Wang Yu if he wanted to Have some drinks with him.
Wang Yu waved his hand and refused. He didn't like drinking.
"Ah?" Charles made a confused tone. He didn't find anything wrong with the floor below the stairs he came down from at that time. He just felt the feeling of being wrapped by the reality stabilizing anchor, but these reality stabilizing anchors In the final analysis, his stance had no effect on Colin.
"The guy called Mr. Colin doesn't dare to go below the level where we fight. That's the real bottom of the Abyss Fallen."
"I dare to let you in because I am sure that once you dare to run down, you will not be able to get out. As for the top being destroyed, it doesn't matter. It is not the real bottom of the Abyss."
When Xiugeyin saw that Wang Yu had no intention of drinking with him, he explained to Ciel, "If you don't have special equipment to go down there, you will be passively "forgotten"."
"Forgotten?" Ciel rubbed his chin, suddenly feeling a chill.
"I don't want to be forgotten. Are you really so powerful?" Charles hugged his arms with a look of disbelief.
"Think carefully about the name of the "God of War" controlled by us. I have shown you the information, the God of War from the people of Seventan." The professor said it much simpler, and an example can illustrate the problem.
"Hey, it's true. I can't remember it. Hey, it's a bit scary." Ciel thought hard. He knew all the other details in the document, but he couldn't remember the name of the God of War. , which made him shudder even more.
Wang Yu tilted his head, thought for a moment, and realized that he didn't know the name of the God of War. Then he remembered that he had never read the information, and grinned, guessing that passive forgetfulness was still useless to him.
"So you know why the defense in that place is not so tight, right? That Mr. Colin didn't come for the Abyss Fallen. His target was me, Captain Shugein, my body, and that The so-called "key."" Sieg continued to explain.
"Those who try to break through to the bottom of the Abyss are actually going to their own death. There is no need to stop them." Xiugeyin concluded.
"Uh, I understand." Charles was frightened for a while, but he didn't expect that he almost couldn't get out when he went in.
"What about the key? What is the key that Mr. Colin, who is neither human nor ghost, is looking for?" Charles still couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked directly.
"Key?" Sieg glanced at Xiugeyin, who nodded.
"You know the person who is called the person closest to the void, right?" Sieg looked at Charles.
"I know, Roland, the beyond-legendary wizard. God knows what this guy has researched. He was so powerful that he could use the power of the void to build a kingdom out of thin air, but in the end he gave up all his power and still kept thirteen..."
"Eh? Did he leave it? I thought it was a legend?" Ciel became surprised midway through his words. This wizard was so legendary that many of his stories lost their authenticity, and they were either just exaggerated or exaggerated. Black, basically all fake.
This resulted in Ciel not being able to contact him for a while.
"Well, this so-called key is also a concept that suddenly appeared in recent years. Some people are hunting and collecting those people with particularly powerful wizard talents. It seems that these people are considered "keys"."
"But there is still too little information at present. It is not clear whether it is true or whether there is some evil god belief performing the ritual." Sieg agreed with Ciel's statement.
"Ah, I'm so scared. My talent is so good, could it be that he's just here for me?" Ciel held his arms in a panic gesture, causing Sieg to roll his eyes.
Wang Yu had been listening. At this time, he glanced at Aviya beside him, a little serious, and their eyes collided. The girl and Wang Yu had a tacit understanding, and both of them had a dignified look in their eyes.
The wizard's talent is powerful... Aviya is one of the people with the most terrifying wizard talent that Wang Yu has ever seen. Regarding the "key", you must pay attention to it later.
"Wang Yu, let me give you an answer to the question you asked me before, about why all ordinary members of the Night Blade must go to the royal city regularly for fully closed reporting and review."
"This "report" and inspection are essentially just words. After all, everyone can see the hidden dangers caused by this system. It was undefended for almost a whole day. This incident was largely due to being exploited. It’s caused by this.”
Sieg finished answering Charles's doubts and turned to answer Wang Yu's previous doubts.
"Yes, it is indeed a bit strange. The disadvantages of this are too obvious. Can't we do it in batches?"
What Wang Yu is more curious about is how there was such a loophole-filled reporting day, and the palace was closed for the entire day without defense. Who could have thought of this?
"Not everyone has the same exaggerated mental resistance as you. To be honest, Wang Yu, I have never seen your ability to completely ignore void pollution and other mental influences. Ye Zhizhi It is not enough for the members of the Blade to have a firm will.”
Sieg shook his head, his tone somewhat helpless.
"The members of the Night Edge fight on the front line facing the chaotic void. They are the people with the strongest willpower, but they are also the ones who face the most pollution. No matter how powerful the barrier is, it will be destroyed by persistent erosion. The Night Edge The members of the Blade also have the same will, so we need an insurance policy."
"So, what is the essence of this debriefing day?"
Wang Yu thought of the border sanatorium that Sieg had mentioned, which seemed to treat soldiers who had suffered mental breakdown or alienation due to fighting against the void. He quickly understood that this "reporting day" with huge hidden dangers was probably just a large-scale and... It's just a cover-up for spiritual rituals.
"Yes." Zig nodded with a smile, and Wang Yu understood quickly.
While the two were chatting, the bartender from the Echo Cottage tavern suddenly came over and placed a piece of parchment in front of Shougeyin. Shougeyin put down his drink and took a look, and a smile appeared on his usually serious and indifferent face.
"Well, Wang Yu, Ciel, the king has summoned you. Let's go. Think about what benefits you can get on the way."
