Chapter 1070: Take refuge, take off
1. Take off, ascend
“If only I could get my hands on the Meditation Method that Paredes gave to Jay Spade, I could deconstruct it.”
Noland Lee felt a sense of regret in his heart.
In the Memory Fragment, he saw the scene where Paredes imparted the Meditation Method to Jay Spade—the former handed over a magic book with a magic lock to the latter, encrypted in the Pure Light language.
Unable to deploy the Deconstruction on the items in the Memory Fragment, Noland naturally couldn’t ascertain the details of the Meditation Method.
He estimated he could only wait until he saw the magic book with his own eyes to deploy the Deconstruction and obtain the other party’s Panel Information.
...
Noland steeled his mind and continued to examine Jay Spade’s Deconstruction Results.
Two other Memory Fragments caught his eye, causing his pupils to contract slightly.
[Memory Fragment Twenty: “Secret Order Book for Closely Monitoring the Tatis Empire,” integrity 100%]
[Memory Fragment Twenty-One: “Secret Order Book for Closely Monitoring Union City,” integrity 100%]
“Closely monitor the two kingdoms on Alchemist Island? What is the Pure Light Court planning?”
Noland frowned slightly.
If Paredes knew about the events that would happen in 10 years, could he also know the order in which the Pollution Zones would appear?
Noland’s eyebrows lifted as he realized this was no simple matter.
The Metal Ancestor Dragon, just like the Assassin Angel, might be well-informed about the Plane Core and the Fire of St. Dillan.
With the Metal Ancestor Dragon aiding from the shadows, it was almost certain that Paredes knew that the Steel Forest of Mortal World and the “Decayed Wilderness” were about to occur. noveldrama
Thus, these two Order Books must be targeting the two Pollution Zones.
Noland clicked to open Memory Fragment One.
Yes, that’s right, it was indeed the case.
In the Order Book for Closely Monitoring the Tatis Empire, Paredes mentioned:
About seven days ago, the stock in the Material Warehouse had only decreased but not increased, clearly indicating an issue with the supply side, bringing the research work of the Tatis Empire Military Intelligence Third Department to a complete halt.
Seven days ago… That day was when Omar Goddard began transferring his soul and Extraordinary Traits.
The Tatis region now, with the help of the Pillar of Ley Lines against the Undead Cult, felt much less pressure from the side of the Undead.
About a year ago, when Noland fled the Tatis Empire, half of the empire’s territory had fallen into the hands of the Undead Cult.
To this day, the Pillar of Ley Lines not only helped Tatis clear the Suffering Borderland but also pushed the front lines about 300 kilometers west, helping Tatis to regain a considerable amount of lost land.
With these Wizards skilled in Earth Rock Magic, post-war repair and reconstruction will not consume too much of Tatis’s national strength.
Of course, the complete annihilation of the Undead Cult was not what Ulnas Circle wished to see.
Constrained by the Ulnas Ring Law, the Pillar of Ley Lines could not utterly uproot the Undead Cult.
A delicate balance would form between Tatis and the Undead Cult until the Ulnas Circle drained all their value.
If Omar Goddard had not transferred his assets in time, then once the balance in the Tatis region solidified, he would become the next target for intensive research.
The shortfall of raw materials for the Biochemical Elixirs was caused by Omar Goddard’s transfer of his assets.
This plunged Tatis into turbulence.
Those already promoted to “Imperial Fist” needed to inject Biochemical Elixirs regularly to maintain their Biochemical Transformation pieces within their bodies.
Those not yet promoted to “Imperial Fist,” but qualified, were waiting for the Biochemical Elixirs to help them undergo a radical transformation.
Now things had gone awry; with a shortage of Biochemical Elixirs and the Tatis Emperor unable to provide raw materials, his children were not going to be happy.
After the foundation of benefits was removed from the bond of blood, it became exceedingly fragile.
The more than 6000 imperial children had virtually no affection for each other, inheriting only the competitiveness and desire to excel passed down from their father.
“Thanks to” the idea instilled by the Emperor at an early stage that “all Wizards are bad,” a significant number of children who despised Wizards joined the Undead Cult.
They always believed it was the emergence of Wizards that led to the shortage of raw materials for the Biochemical Elixirs, ultimately triggering the turmoil of the times.
The actions of this group dealt a huge blow to Tatis.
When they joined the Undead Cult, it wasn’t just them who became the Undead.
Their subordinates, relatives, friends, and allies all willingly or semi-willingly became members of the Undead Cult.
What’s worse, a small group among them had strong influence.
Originally the heirs to the Emperor, they had high succession ranks, abundant resources, extensive connections, and significant influence.
The presence of the Pillar of Ley Lines in Tatis had already displeased them, and adding to that, the Emperor had no plans of retiring…
So…
This small number of notable figures within Tatis brought a large group with them and joined the Undead Cult.
When they joined, they also brought the blueprints for weaponry and the corresponding production facilities.
Up to the moment Paredes issued the Order Book, the battlefields where the Undead Cult confronted the Pillar of Ley Lines were already featuring Undead Creatures using firearms.
Ah, this.
Undead Creatures using firearms???
Their power must be much stronger than when humans use firearms.
After all, lower-tier Undead Creatures are just expendables, there’s no need to worry about friendly fire due to the great power of firearms.
Noland even imagined the scene of Undead Creatures charging into crowds with containers of nuclear waste, describing the AOE damage as terrifying, not to mention igniting the nuclear waste containers.
