Chapter 358 The Witch and the Soul Furnace?Deduct ten points for wrong answers!
The vortex gradually converged in the sky, and the original blue sky was stained with a large area of ​​purple black.

The floating fleet on the sea of ​​clouds has descended to almost the surface of the sea, but it is still swaying from side to side, making it difficult to maintain balance.Many airships touched the waves for the first time, and the sea water washed over the cabins and decks, scaring the people on it to scream and run.

On the bridge of the flagship, Gordon, the legend of the Ted family, reported on behalf of other legends: "According to our observations, the Storm Islands will leave the main plane by evening at the latest. At that time, the law of the secondary mask will be changed to What it looks like is second to none, the magical power of the entire Storm Islands will be mastered by Menesus alone."

"It's true that we can't wait any longer." Hathaway looked out the porthole. In a sea area in the distance, dozens of floating ships were either on their heads or feet, or were broken into two pieces, and were sinking slowly.The families who firmly disagreed with the "Supreme Council Reorganization Act" were all there.

"The battle just now made everyone warm up," Hathaway said decisively: "Now, we will directly attack the City of Silver, and I will also notify the forces of the City of Shadows to cooperate."

More than 200 floating ships skimmed the sea and flew towards the City of Silver. Hathaway pursed her lips nervously.

Mentor... Menesus rewrote the law just shortly after Li Qi and his mother went deep into the dungeon. There must be a connection between them. I don't know what happened to them now.

Shadow City, Moshu'u Tavern, Zold convened the heads of families, guilds, and various organizations, and slapped a memory chip on the table.

"170 and eight families have signed the Supreme Council Reorganization Act, and now we are fighting for the freedom of all magicians!"

"Colleagues, take action! Let all the families and magicians in the City of Silver know about this bill and what we are fighting for!"

"Everyone act! The time for the decisive battle has come! The fleet led by Your Excellency Ted is approaching, we must seize the bridgehead, weaken or even control the protective barrier, magic cannon and all forces that resist liberation in the City of Silver!"

Zold was not the only one who knew about this bill. Almost everyone present got the news through various channels, and they were anxiously waiting for a signal from Zold.

Zold waved his arm: "Let's go—!"

The shouting sound almost knocked down the ceiling of the tavern, and the crowd rushed out and went to various places, leading teams to enter the City of Silver through various passages controlled by the people of Shadow City.

"Gather some more people and attack the fortress tower at the bottom of the City of Silver with me." In the central square of Shadow City, a high-level magician pointed to a group of people.

The bandage man Vance, the bald female demon warrior Liuyin, the half-devil Red Horn, who lost his extraordinary power, and Moshuu, who hunched over and drove supplies in a floating vehicle, and several leaders of the Aurora Society are here.They watched that the magician did not speak, and the others were silent.

The magician's cheeks twisted: "What are you doing here!? Take action! You lowly slaves, how dare you disobey me!?"

Liuyin gritted her teeth and was about to move her hand when Vance bumped her with his elbow and said in a dry voice, "We only accept orders from His Excellency Zold. If you need anything, please go to him first." .”

"Don't use Zold as a cover! Can you bear the consequences of contradicting the magician?"

The magician was furious, and was about to make a move while waving his staff, when his subordinate coughed.

Only then did the magician see that everyone around him turned their heads and looked at him quietly. The noisy square suddenly became silent, and the atmosphere was extremely dignified.

"Bitch slaves! Bah! Just wait, this is the only time you can catch your breath!"

The magician spat bitterly, and led his subordinates into the teleportation circle.

Watching the team leave, Liu Yin also spat bitterly: "Bah! Just thinking of driving us out as cannon fodder!"

A leader of the Dawn Society said: "Many people have been driven by magicians to fight in the City of Silver. They don't have the guts to confront the magician."

Another leader said: "This is also a necessary price. Let the magicians see our strength and know that we are also fighting for freedom. The new Supreme Council will also carefully consider the future of Shadow City."

"Freedom doesn't come from charity," Fan Si said deeply, "Now, it's time for us to fight for our freedom!"

The big and small leaders of the Night Club and the Dawn Club looked at each other, and the original hesitation, apprehension, and fear gradually dissipated in the intertwined gazes, and became hot and firm.

"The duke... is also fighting for the truth." Liu Yin said with some concern, "I don't know what's going on with him."

At the entrance of the underground city, corpses were piled on top of each other, forming a low wall like a river embankment.

Seeing the enemies running away in a hurry, and those fighting puppets standing there in a daze out of control, the silver-armored warrior lay down on the ground, his body shrunk and he couldn't stop panting.

Around her and behind her, no one was standing anymore, they were all panting violently, staring blankly at the zenith that had turned into a pitch black sky.

The magic warriors Dres and Kramer were lying in a pool of blood, and it wasn't their blood.Wearing magic steel armor, even if the suppression disappeared later, no one could break their defense.

"It's so, so..."

Dries couldn't find words to describe his feelings for a while, so he could only make a straightforward statement: "It's worth dying like this."

Kramer smiled lowly: "Yeah, it's worth it, but I still want to earn more."

"Yes," Dries said expectantly.

Not far behind them, Gambit muttered: "President... Cardinal, we are still fighting, we cannot give up!"

He stretched out his hand to remember the thorns in his heart, but his hand trembled in the air for a while, then fell down weakly.

"It's over, I can't hand over the public grain today." Gambit was confused and had forgotten where he was.

Behind Gambit, there are two little girls who are protected by everyone in the center, one with brown skin and pointed ears, and the other with silver hair and blue eyes.

The two little girls were sitting back to back, their heads drooping, snoring softly.

………………

The architectural division of the underground city is very obvious. The outermost layer is a simple frame, surrounded by a few stones and a few stone pillars.The deeper you go, the more details you get. Gradually, there are walls, doors, windows, ceilings and even multi-layer structures, and the ground also begins to have tidy streets paved with floor tiles.

Going deep into the center of the city, Li Qi felt in a trance that he had returned to the mainland and was in a town like Conrad City. The difference between the two is only the architectural style.However, like other buildings, they are dilapidated as if they have been silent for thousands of years.

It was less than ten kilometers from the outer barrier to the center of the city, and it still took more than two hours for the three of Li Qi to ride the floating bicycle forward.

This road is basically called...

At first it was a humanoid combat puppet, and later it was a giant puppet that was more than twice as tall and thick. According to Sahina, it was a very old model.

Sahina's metal arc attack lasted through the initial stage, and then changed to Li Qi and Tina.

At first they also used the magic guns, magic fire bombs and magic fire barrels in the space ring to attack, but later found that even a zero-level magic spell could cause damage close to a third-level magic spell.The two threw away their weapons and directly attacked with divine magic. The feeling that a giant puppet could be smashed to pieces with a single level-[-] death impact was simply not too pleasant.

Gradually, the number of puppets decreased, and the "bark man" like a living corpse appeared.

The strange thing is that these people seem to have occupations just like living people.

Some, like warriors and knights, were wrapped in dark green light armor and wielded bright green lightsabers, attacking with great force.

Some are like spellcasters, launching clusters of dark green fireballs, or using spells like spider web and weight gain to slow down their actions.

There are also healers, who can combine the broken bark people into several pieces to rejuvenate them.

Fortunately, the combat power of these bark men is generally not high, and the strongest ones are heroes. Li Qi and Tina can completely kill them with the miscellaneous soldiers with a single shot of the death scythe.

Here, the power of divine spells with psychic effects has been increased by at least two levels.

Li Qi even regretted it a little bit, he knew it should be converted into thorns or even banner talents.Among Fei Gong's various professions, these two talents are more inclined to the soul department than the death talent.

The problem is, no matter how powerful the divine spell is, and no matter how little the divine power is consumed, it cannot stop the endless stream of bark men.

The deeper you go into the city, the more bark people, and then the painting style completely becomes a biohazard.

Their divine power began to dry up, they didn't dare to love to fight any more, they just buried their heads and galloped in a hurry.

When approaching the central area, I don't know if this is a restricted area for the bark man, or if he has received an order, the bark man stopped like a tide.

Across an invisible boundary, densely packed bark people swayed.Countless pairs of green pupils stacked and flickered in the night, reminding Li Qi of the corpse spiders gathered in the depths of Rose's Great Temple.

In front of the street is a brightly lit square. There is a building in the center of the square. It is too far away to see clearly, and it always feels a bit abrupt.

"My heart is almost hitting the instep of my foot," Tina said shyly, feeling the tremendous pressure from the square.

Li Qi ordered: "Saxina, you are hiding here, let's go and have a look. No, not only can't you help us in your current state, but it will also drag us down, so let's go and have a look."

Sahina let go of Li Qi's hand, opened her mouth, and said nothing, her eyes were covered with thin tears, probably because she was worried.

"What can we... what can we do?"

The two groped towards the square, and Tina couldn't help asking.

"Finding the truth... No, the truth is second to none, the main thing is to find the enemy and then call for an air strike." Li Qixin said that what he is doing now is the job of the special forces.

"Air attack?"

Tina looked up, and there was nothing but the surprisingly large bright moon and the sharply twinkling stars near the moon.

"We'll know when the time comes," Li Qi pinched her ears, and his figure turned into ripples.

"Don't pinch it," Tina muttered dissatisfiedly, but her originally stiff cheeks softened. She exhaled foul breath and disappeared.

On the square paved with stone bricks, there is a dilapidated wooden house, no, strictly speaking, it is just a shack standing in the center.

There were two people standing not far from the shack, one was Gwentorine with purple hair, and the other was Menesus with gray hair.

There are two people in a shack, other than that, there is nothing else on the square.

Li Qi and Tina touched the edge of the square, about a hundred meters away from them, holding a trace of luck that "it was not discovered", Menesus turned to face them.

The old voice echoed in the square, without any emotion: "Ah, you are here, a little earlier than planned. It seems that Lady Scarlet's divine power is more complicated than I expected."

Feeling a little bit about my connection with Little Red Riding Hood, although it is not as smooth as when I was on the main plane, but it is not as difficult as before. It is just a layer of window paper, and Li Qi shows his figure.

"Then, Menesus, be frank, is there a witch in the house?"

Li Qi started to probe, also to verify his guess: "When I first entered the dungeon, I sensed a familiar force. But because there are many differences, I didn't figure it out all at once."

"Later, I discovered the existence of the bark man, which is half human and half undead, and then discovered that the power of the mind here is extremely powerful, and I suddenly realized it."

"This underground city should have been filled with corrupted air at first, but the corrupted air has been completely condensed into a regularized space membrane by you, so you can't see or feel any trace of the corrupted air."

"This layer of membrane can amplify the power of the mind, and even make one's wishes come true. Of course, it's just the bark man, that is, the illusion of those poor people sent to the underground city."

Li Qi looked up, the sky was full of stars, and the place near the full moon was particularly active, and the flickering rhythm was almost exactly the same as the dark green pupils of those bark crowds who stopped outside the square just now.

"The stars above their heads are their souls, which were forcibly retained by this layer of space membrane and cut open. They are muddled souls."

"The entire underground city is a melting pot of souls!"

"You force the souls of mortals here, cut them up with techniques I still don't understand, attach them to matter and magic, and turn them into immortal monsters."

"They still have emotions, and they still live the same life as mortals in their eyes. They form a small mortal world, and the emotions they produce, or thoughts and memories, are the food of witches."

"You then use the transformation circle to extract the magic power from the witch and maintain the level mask of the Storm Islands."

"In this conversion process, the conversion efficiency is definitely not [-]%, and it will overflow a lot of soul-corroding power. Therefore, on the basis of the space membrane of the underground city, you have extended a layer of barriers to block the Shadow City."

"The entire Shadow City is used as a buffer zone. The civilians living in the Shadow City are surrounded by invisible and weak corrosive forces. Their souls decay much faster than ordinary people, so they only have a lifespan of 40 to [-] years old."

When Li Qi was talking, Menesus had been listening attentively, humming from time to time.

After Li Qi finished his guess, he realized what he had overlooked: "Wait, Ms. Ye's experiment..."

Menesus laughed out loud, very happy, like a teacher discovering a childish mistake he made decades ago in the homework of a freshman who just entered school.

"Since you all know that the Storm Islands are Ms. Ye's testing ground, you should understand how ridiculous your guess just now is? If you answer wrong, ten points will be deducted!"

I just forgot that this guy is the dean of the Supreme Academy of Magic. This is an occupational disease...

"This place, this world, the meaning of its existence, how could it be just to provide energy for the bitmask of the Storm Islands? That's just a small incidental effect."

"As for the witch...haha...god..."

Menesus laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up: "If Ms. Ye knows that you look at her masterpiece like this, she will be very angry."

Laughing and laughing, he coughed like a bellows, and he stopped after a while.

"This pathetic body can be thrown away soon," he muttered, straightening his body and looking at Li Qi: "But you surprised me, except for the most critical mistakes, some of your inferences are the best so far. closest to the truth."

"It's no wonder that Lady Scarlet's divine power is focused on the heart, and her priesthood is still woven from the original priesthood that was rejected. As her spokesperson, you are the most familiar with corruption among all the priests, and you are the least afraid of it. Angry people."

"But it's just like swords. Although the materials are the same, those swords that have been tempered for thousands of years are completely different from the swords mass-produced by poor craftsmen."

"So, don't think you'll have an advantage here."

Menai Su paused his staff and said in a gentle voice: "Now, let's do a small test to see how your emotions will change when your emotions become intense in such an environment. This can test who is stronger and who is weaker, the scarlet divine power and Lady Ye's... the power of the soul law."

Li Qi was on guard, when Tina suddenly exclaimed from behind: "Sa, Sahina!"

Turning around, it was indeed Sahina!

She staggered and walked over like a puppet.

When she got close, she could see that her cheeks were frighteningly white, and she was still twitching, looking a little hideous.Her gray eyes, which resembled Theresia's, were completely out of focus, yet tears were streaming.
