The news that the important imperial minister, Marquis Hynes, collaborated with the enemy set off a storm within the United Empire.
No one thought that the mole was actually in the headquarters.
After thinking about the ambushes that the United Fleet would encounter before and the various losses on the front line, everyone realized that the "capitulationists" were not only pessimistic about the war situation and obstructed the New Deal, but also surrendered to the enemy in actual actions.
action.
As for the archbishop of the Tianmu sect who was captured alive by Yabok, the results of the interrogation were also tortured by the people from the Military Intelligence Agency on the same day, and the ironclad evidence was in hand.
The next day's "Lingdon Daily News", "Lu Ying Times" and other major newspapers described the whole incident in detail. There was indeed a group of "surrender factions" within the United Empire who secretly surrendered to the enemy.
And Empress Catherine did not disappoint. She cleared out all the people related to Marquis Hines with iron-blooded tactics, promoted a group of hawkish ministers to fill the vacancies, and calmed down the civil war in a short time.
The negative impact of ghost events on the empire.
And although Marquis Hynes has committed suicide out of fear of crime and many clues end here, the impact goes far beyond that.
Emperor Catherine the Great also took the opportunity to consolidate the power scattered in the hands of some old nobles. For a time, the power in the hands of the monarch reached a level that had never been reached by the Bona royal family before, and various instructions and policies were decentralized.
There is no barrier anymore.
Afterwards, some people realized that the various "capitulation factions" in the list were too detailed, and some old nobles who had previously obstructed the New Deal were almost wiped out in one fell swoop.
Some people even guessed that this was the empress concentrating power again.
But no one said anything, and it even received continued support from hawkish members of Congress.
The special period of plane crisis requires a highly centralized, talented and strategic leader, so that he can concentrate all his forces to resist the outside world.
And Ekaterina is the qualified emperor.
This is obvious to all.
A few days later, Stormgar in the south of Luying led to Clemington, the forest manor of Earl Russell.
This is an old manor in the mountains and forests with beautiful scenery. It has existed for more than seven hundred years.
And it was in this ancient manor that a group of old-school nobles were secretly discussing an ambush plan that could change the fate of the United Empire.
"Then Mr. Mirror of Dawn will really come?"
"The news has been released, and someone from the Dawn Organization has also contacted us. As long as the [Dark Holy Lamp] is in our hands, Mr. Mirror will definitely fall for it."
"That's right. Mr. Jing is a vampire, and his origin was burned by the Holy Light. It will take at least a few years to heal on his own. But now, in two or three years at most, a large number of ninth-level mages will come to the plane of gods.
Plane channel. The defeat of the United Empire has been determined. So if she wants to delay time, even if she guesses that there may be problems with this transaction, it will definitely come. She can't afford to wait. What's more, that kind of ninth-level existence probably thinks that in
No one in Luying can do anything to her."
"The empire can only have one ninth level. As long as Master Merlin is still the number one worshiper in the empire, our status will still be there. Otherwise, the ambitious young lady of the Lance family may take away all the rights that should belong to our nobles.
If we are really defeated, everyone will have to be buried with her."
"That's right. We have to take the initiative to do something to let the people from the God Plane capture Lu Ying's mainland as soon as possible. Otherwise, if they really suffer too many casualties, they will definitely massacre the city and destroy the country in a rage. We will have nothing."
"."
The Marquis Hines incident had a huge negative impact on the old-school nobles. Although the loss was cut off in time, it also caused immeasurable losses to their old-school alliance.
This also disrupted the layout they had worked so hard for before, and all the rights they had fought for with great difficulty were suddenly returned.
Various positions were removed, territories were taken back, and real power was squeezed.
I originally wanted to take advantage of the war situation to take advantage of it little by little.
But now it seems that the longer time passes, the more stable the status of the empress will be, and the fewer old nobles like them will be left.
All it takes is a desperate move.
"The threat to us from Dawn is too great. If we don't deal with them, sooner or later the problem will fall on us."
"Yes. I even suspect that this Dawn was secretly planned by some empress. Otherwise, it was such a coincidence that some Dawn group suddenly appeared and broke the deadlock of the United Fleet. Now the ability of the gods in the plane is against us There are also doubts, and we will have less and less say in subsequent negotiations."
"Don't worry, at least they will continue to win over us in the next few years. Those guys in the plane of gods are not monolithic. They probably guessed that 'Mr. Mirror' has a treasure, so these advance corps want to try their best to If you want to eat this piece of fat, you have to come and intercept it at any risk. Otherwise, when the group comes in large numbers, there will be more people to share the benefits. It is also because of this that they win over us."
"Has anyone arrived?"
"It has been sent here secretly. Many top experts have come this time, so it is absolutely foolproof!"
"When the time comes to kill Mr. Jing, we can even consider beheading him."
"."
While these people were discussing, on a mountain road dozens of miles away from the manor, a group of mysterious cloaked men were walking slowly towards the manor.
Although they are a group of people, there is an obvious distinction between them when walking.
The leaders were three white-bearded magicians.
There is an invisible magic field lingering on their bodies. Wherever they pass, the dew on the grass blades cannot stain their robes.
These are clearly three ninth-level Dharma Saints.
And the group of people behind are all eighth-level magicians with strong magic power.
This is an elite group capable of killing any ninth level.
On the other side, a steam train is driving from Lingdun to the south of Luying.
"Woo"
"Woo"
The steam train entered the tunnel and whistled, dragging a long white steam tail.
When the car passed through the dark tunnel, the view suddenly became clear.
The weather is sunny today and the visibility is very high.
Through the window glass, you can see the scenery on both sides of the railway.
Rural areas, mountains, mechanical towns, and hard-working people.
After Luying and Marfa merged to form the United Empire, advanced mechanical technology also blossomed everywhere. A large number of people poured in, and as a result, a large number of new towns were built along the railway lines, and there was a busy and prosperous construction scene everywhere.
The days are getting better day by day, and people are busy and energetic.
The sun was shining brightly, shining into a section of the luxury carriage.
There was a mini gargoyle on the small table by the window, and Suellen was explaining the secrets of the runes of the Puppet Master lineage.
Opposite him, Aback was holding a notebook, and his five machine arms were recording something seriously.
"The focus of high-level puppets is on the understanding of runes. On top of the rules, there is the power of rules. This is the ultimate secret of runes and the direction you need to practice hard in the future. But if you want to get involved in the field of high-level alchemy, you must You can understand advanced rune language. There are some basic classics in the library. After you go down, read them first to lay a solid foundation. Okay, that’s all for today.”
"Well, teacher. Then I will go back to the small void world first. Mr. Hei's dragon language rune course is about to begin."
"good."
"."
Today's class was over, and Aback returned to the small void world.
Su Lun also put away the teaching puppets.
He was very satisfied with this disciple's performance.
Yabok is hardworking, focused, and perseverant. He also has the talent of the second interpretation of [Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart] and has a very strong learning ability.
Su Lun has now talked about the top level alchemy knowledge field above level 7, which is very difficult for ordinary people to understand. But Yabo Ke's learning progress is still very fast, he is like a sponge every day
The same way, absorbing all kinds of knowledge.
What's more, Su Lun is not the only one teaching.
In the Little Void World, there are also Mr. Black and a group of top masters from the Dawn Group, and there is also a library with the most complete collection of books in the entire Alchemy Plane.
No matter who you are, having these resources will save you too many detours.
Su Lun felt that with a little guidance, his disciple would definitely achieve great results in the future.
The climate in Luying is pleasant all year round. Now is the spring season, with greenery and flowers blooming on both sides of the railway.
The window was opened a little, and there was always a faint fragrance of grass and flowers in the car.
On the recliner on the other side, Mr. Jing was leisurely flipping through an ancient book about vampires. He didn't know what he saw. Sometimes he frowned slightly, sometimes he smiled lightly, elegant and focused.
They had been on the train for two days and had one more day to arrive at Stormgarland in the south.
Su Lun did not disturb her senior sister, and after giving lessons to Yabok, she went back to her own business.
They are also used to this way of getting along.
Maybe they won't say a word for a long time, and they will be busy quietly.
At this time, news suddenly came from Su Lun's communication. He glanced at Mr. Jing and said, "Sister, I just got the news. Sabina has sent someone to confirm that Earl Russell really has a cure.
The forbidden object of the Holy Light's injury. I heard it was salvaged from the 'Hormonite Ruins' in the South China Sea two hundred years ago, and it's called the [Dark Holy Lamp]."
Mr. Jing listened, without moving his eyes from the book, and responded lazily: "Oh, those old nobles still have a lot of good things in their hands."
"yes."
Su Lun also smiled and said: "But the seller has not relented and will not sell it at any high price. I'm probably just waiting for you, senior sister, to come and negotiate."
As he said that, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and he added: "It seems like those people from the plane of gods must be planning an ambush this time."
"Um."
After listening to this, Mr. Jing put down the ancient book in his hand.
She glanced at Su Lun and said: "Miss Yekaterina has also communicated with me before, and the empire's high-level combat power has not changed. This time it should be a master from the god plane lurking over. If we solve it this time
Those people should be able to completely eliminate this hidden danger. You won’t have to worry about them coming to behead you for a long time to come.”
"Um."
Su Lun nodded, not surprised.
Taking action within Luying territory, our side had too many intelligence advantages.
But the enemy still dared to take action, so there must be other ways to sneak across, and this time they were all solved.
This ambush is not only related to Dawn and Mr. Mirror, but also the final game between the United Empire and those "surrenderers".
Marquis Hynes has just died, so those involved this time must be the last big figures of the capitulation faction. Once Su Lun searches for their souls, it will be time for a complete liquidation!
After thinking about it, Su Lun asked again: "I estimate that the enemy must have at least three ninth-level Dharma Saints to make a move. How is your condition, Senior Sister?"
Hearing this, Mr. Jing smiled slightly: "It's not a big problem."
This understatement made people feel the domineering nature of leak detection.
Su Lun also raised his eyebrows when he heard this and didn't ask any more questions.
He is also looking forward to how powerful his senior sister will be after merging the reproductive equipment [Mirror Kaleidoscope] and the ancestor's blood.
The two briefly chatted for a few words, and then each went about his or her own business.
Mr. Jing still looked at the Vampire Secret Book in his hand.
At this time, Su Lun took out a black and golden scroll. His eyes were shining, and he had unlocked the second version of the [Eye of Omniscience].
This is the trophy obtained from killing "Curator" Hyndman Elpso in Linton before - [The Master's Proverbs (Fragmentary Volume)].
The text on this scroll is in the divine language of the advanced language family.
I couldn't understand it before, but now Su Lun can understand part of it after drinking the Fountain of Wisdom.
What is certain is that this is a very high-grade "forbidden item".
The god-level secret technique of [Fire of Death] obtained by the necromancer who killed the gods in the sea of the Kingdom of Dragons was understood from the content of this piece of gold.
Previously, Su Lun thought that the words on it contained some kind of advanced law of death, but after reading Isaac's basic alchemy manuscript, he found that what was recorded on this golden scroll might be some kind of "rules".
A very profound power of rules about death.
Maybe higher.
It's just that his current cognition can touch the upper limit, which is the lower limit of the rules.
Now that he can understand part of the contents of the golden scroll, Su Lun has gained more insights into the secret technique of [Death Fire].
Then there was a trip to Old Town, and after getting the complete "Research Notes on Living Corpses" at No. 88 Ginkgo Street, he had been pondering a special idea in his mind these days.
That is one of the ultimate subjects of alchemy - the resurrection of the dead!
After reading the contents of the golden scroll for a while, Su Lun's thinking became clearer.
After thinking about it, he decided to put the idea that had been lingering in his mind these days into practice.
Just do it.
At this time, Su Lun took out a white mouse from the biology laboratory.
With a slight hook of his finger, a transparent silk thread immediately removed the white mouse's body, and blood spattered everywhere. Almost instantly, a small "gray mist" appeared on the body.
However, Su Lun did not let it die. The warlock seal instantly condensed: "Look back!"
A miraculous scene took place immediately.
The mouse's wound was like time flowing backwards, and it recovered instantly, even the splattered blood was recovered.
Su Lun concentrated his technique again, and a stream of corpse wax wrapped around the body of the white mouse. He raised his hand and pointed, and the soul was immediately sealed back into the mouse's body before it could float away.
A magical scene took place before my eyes.
The little white mouse immediately jumped up and down in front of me again, just like before.
Seeing this, Su Lun frowned slightly, as if he was still not satisfied, and murmured: "Is this the only way we can do it?"
However, this scene made Mr. Jing not far away look at the beautiful eyes with a look of surprise. She put down the ancient book in her hand and said curiously: "Su Lun, have you mastered the secret of 'resurrection'?"
"Resurrection of the dead" is one of the ultimate topics in the field of alchemy.
She remembered her father once asserting that this was a power that only gods could control.
But now, Su Lun resurrected a mouse right in front of his eyes?
Although Mr. Jing also saw that there were some problems with this little experiment, the significance of just making a dead mouse jump around was extraordinary.
"No. It's not a resurrection spell in the true sense."
Su Lun shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Well, I think it's more appropriate to call it the 'Soul Reincarnation Technique'. The mouse is actually dead, I just used alchemy to keep it alive. To be precise, it should be dead.
It’s a special form of spiritual creature.”
Mr. Jing pondered for a moment, and vaguely saw some clues, but he was more confused.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh?"
There is nothing to reserve against his senior sister. Su Lun explained: "Just to resurrect this mouse, I used three high-level laws: the law of time, the law of death and the law of life, as well as the techniques of the secret technique of living corpses and the secret technique of wax figures. Partially
Go back in time to restore the body's vitality to the mouse, then use the soul secret technique to forcibly seal the soul, and then use the living corpse wax sculpture technique to allow it to retain its complete abilities during life."
After saying that, he spread his hands again and said: "Although the result of 'resurrection' is the same, the method is completely different from the true resurrection technique. At least without the corpse wax seal, this mouse's soul will leave immediately.
Die physically."
Mr. Jing obviously understood this explanation.
However, she did not feel that this technique was not perfect. Instead, she smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "It's pretty good to be able to do this."
She said, glanced at Su Lun, and acknowledged: "At least I have never heard of anyone who can do this. Not even my father and mother."
Resurrection of the dead is the power of the gods. Now that Su Lun has achieved this step, it means that he has now glimpsed some of the mysteries of the gods.
This is a very good start.
Moreover, even this [Corpse Reincarnation] is a half-finished resurrection technique.
It is also of great significance to mankind.
If you can really keep your memories and abilities alive, death will not seem so scary.
What's more, he is only at the eighth level.
When Su Lun heard her senior sister praising herself, Su Lun shrugged noncommittally.
Although he also knew that his technique had great potential in the future, he also felt that there were many areas for improvement.
He then pointed at the [Exalt's Proverbs] and said: "The death rules recorded in this golden scroll are too profound. Many of them are beyond my current level to understand. Only after the ninth level can I really understand some of its mysteries."
Mr. Jing listened and nodded encouragingly: "Yes."
One day later, the train arrived at the station.
Su Lun and Mr. Mirror finally arrived at Clemington, led by Storm.
