Magic Industrial Age

Although they traveled across the sea, seeking revenge from a thousand miles away, it would be an underestimation to say that Loke and his companions were acting rashly.

Angus was the vanguard, responsible for gathering information. After relaying the various situations back, Loke used this information as a basis to create numerous plans.

How to kill was secondary; the most important thing was how to escape unscathed!

Deep Blue had planned and designed over a dozen escape routes. The best-case scenario was to evacuate by sea, board a magic warship directly, and return to Flower Collar.

But if they were pursued, he had contingency plans for how to lure the enemy, how to shake them off, and how to hide!

They had even predicted the worst-case scenario: what to do when a Legendary-level being intervened, how to split up, how to escape!

How to use the weather and terrain to find a chance to survive!

Seemingly running thousands of miles away to another country to kill and seek revenge was arrogant, but behind that arrogance was thorough preparation.

This nameless deserted island was similar to Guano Island in the Auckland City sea area, a small island not far from the mainland.

Guano Island had some resources, but this place could be mostly submerged during high tide, making it truly worthless.

However, on this deserted island, near the highest open space, a simple magic array constructed from basalt had been set up.

Magical machinery might be one direction of magical development, but it did not represent the whole.

This simple magic array was placed on the basalt and constructed with lapis lazuli magic patterns.

After being formed as a whole, it was cut into pieces for easy movement and transportation.

When needed, it could be pieced together directly, a type of 'modular' use.

Of course, this method had limitations; overly complex magic arrays with high precision requirements would not work.

After cutting and piecing together, there would always be slight deviations, preventing a perfect match.

However, Loke did not need a high-precision magic array; he only needed a simple 'two-way positioning'.

After placing several magic cores in fixed positions, he inputted magic to activate it. Magic patterns lit up, intertwined, and eventually formed a bright pentagram magic array.

Loke took out the purple-gilded wooden box, thought for a moment, then took out a 'Multiple Fire Ray' magic scroll, opened it halfway, and placed it inside the wooden box.

Finally, he took out a 'Remote Teleportation Scroll', ready to open it!

At this moment, Olivia held his arm and asked, "Loke, aren't you looking for an item with divine aura?

What could be more suitable than the Angel's Ring?"

Loke curled his lips and said, "There are many items with divine aura; this one really can't be kept!

Compared to this treasure, our safety is the most important thing. So, let's be prepared!"

Saying this, he directly shook off Olivia's hand and opened the scroll again, activating it with magic.

In mid-air, magic vibrated, and a portal slowly cracked open.

One of Loke's backup plans was to hide in plain sight if the sea route was blocked.

He would use the Remote Teleportation Scroll, along with the positioning magic array, to open a teleportation gate and return to Bremen.

Then, he would blend into the crowd. Although he would certainly be questioned, Bremen had too many foreign merchants, mercenaries, and detectives.

The chance of getting away with it was still high!

If that didn't work, he could roam within the Kingdom of Sardinia, or board a ship on the endless ocean, disappearing into the vast crowd, untraceable!

However, to his surprise, they didn't use it themselves, but the treasure did.

Thinking this, Loke directly threw the purple-gilded wooden box into it and immediately began packing things up after the remote teleportation array closed.

Meanwhile,

In Bremen, in a newly rented house.

The arranged simple magic array seemed to sense something, and layers of magic patterns lit up, being completely activated.

Then, a portal opened in the void, and a box was thrown out of it.

This magic box was sturdy, bouncing on the ground a few times without any damage.

But after a moment, flames emerged from it, 'crackling' before exploding with a 'boom'.

Then, rays of fire shot directly towards the roof, burning a large hole in it, and soaring to a height of more than ten meters.

Sparks of fire fell like fireworks, clearly visible even ten miles away in the dark city of Bremen.

But that was not all; the true brilliance was the intact angel skeleton within the flames.

And the divine aura radiating from the angel skeleton, circle after circle, ring after ring, wave after wave, seemed endless and infinite.

Without specialized suppression, the rich divine power of the Silver Angel was fully displayed at this moment.

Although the aftermath of the fourth-tier battle was intense, most people were unwilling to join in the fun.

After all, no one knew where those powerful people came from, and whether they would vent their anger on others!

But now it was different. Now, the angel skeleton floated in mid-air, the divine light illuminating half the city, visible to anyone who looked up!

Once seen, it was hard to forget!

At this moment, countless powerful individuals were moved, waves of magic power, circles of battle aura bloomed.

In the sky, countless powerful individuals suddenly appeared, their eyes filled with greed.

Of course, the fastest to react was the Legendary-level powerhouse, the Cardinal.

His gaze, which had been towards the east coast, quickly returned, turned, and looked up.

Looking at the angel skeleton that was still as bright as new in the flames, his face was first puzzled, then understanding, and finally full of excitement.

"They know what they're doing, knowing what to take and what not to take?"

"But none of this matters anymore, none of it matters. The only thing that matters is my Silver Angel skeleton."

He took another step forward, and his entire body was once again enveloped in holy light, rising like a rising sun, flying towards the angel skeleton.

His every move was like the sun crossing the sky, others retreating, only 'domineering' could describe it.

Of course, he was decisive, but the seven or eight Calamity-level powerhouses who had just flown to the sea were dumbfounded.

They had received orders to 'kill' and 'seize treasure'. Now, they didn't know where the person was, but the 'treasure' had returned to Bremen.

Should they go back?

Or not go back?

At this moment, their entanglement was written on their faces. In the end, four chose to return, and four chose to continue tracking!

Or perhaps simply flee!

They were not familiar with each other, and it was all up to individual choice.

And Bernardo, the Great Pirate, was just as conflicted.

He had returned to Flowing Gardens and was asking Viscount Isel for money, but Viscount Isel was also an old fox, dragging his feet and refusing to give it.

Until this moment, when the holy light traveled across the sky again, and the Silver Angel's skeleton was exposed to the public, the Great Pirate stood up with a jolt.

He could no longer maintain his arrogance, and the expression on his face was unusually anxious and flustered.

Looking back at Viscount Isel, who was also looking at the sky, he gritted his teeth and decisively said, "Let's go!"

Saying this, he took the lead to walk out, saying walk, the speed was already like running away.

His four subordinates were stunned, and without caring about anything else, they hurried to keep up.

The half-white-haired assassin jumped to Bernardo's side and asked, "Captain, Captain, don't you want the money?"

"Money? You need a life to earn money and spend it!"

"What does their fight have to do with us?"

Another subordinate caught up and said urgently, "Captain, we have suffered a great loss by robbing such a merchant ship!

If we can't take back any gold marks, how can we explain it to the crew?"

"Explain? Isn't my meaning obvious enough? If we don't run faster, we won't be able to go back.

If we lose our lives here, then there's really no need to explain."

Bernardo's goal was very clear: the secret passage they had come through, which led directly out of the city, allowing them to board his pirate ship as quickly as possible.

At this moment, they had reached the door. Bernardo stopped and looked at the four, saying, "I know you are very confused?

Confused as to why I look like I'm running for my life?"

"It's very simple, look up!"

The four almost moved in unison, turning around and looking back.

Then, they saw it, saw the holy light, moving at a seemingly slow but fast speed, ignoring all prying eyes, arriving near the Silver Angel's skeleton.

He stretched out his old and withered hand, about to hold the skeleton in his hand!

But at this moment, another hand stretched out. Although the skin was also wrinkled and the muscles withered, the fingers were longer and more powerful.

He blocked Saint Vermont's hand, and also blocked the extremely rich holy light.

Ordinary people, even fourth-tier knights, would have their skin and flesh rot under the power of the holy light!

But this hand, only wrapped in a ball of holy fire, steadily caught it.

Then, a person appeared in mid-air, also blocking between Saint Vermont and the Silver Angel's skeleton.

This was also an old man, unusually tall, but also thin, skin wrapped around bones, but full of energy.

His eyes were like deep pools, containing wisdom and compassion.

There was no holy power leaking from his body, but he stood in the void, easily, as if walking on flat ground.

Only his hands burned with holy fire!

And the most striking thing was his priest's robe, pure black, black as the bottomless abyss!

"Sigmund Lake, one of the three judges of the Inquisition, are you really going to intervene?"

These were the Cardinal's words, calm but full of questioning.

The black-robed old man slowly raised his head, met his eyes, and said softly, "We are believers of God, and there are some things that absolutely cannot be done!"

"You should know that I am going to die, so get out of my way!"

"Then you should know even more that since I have appeared, I cannot back down."

"Then let's fight, let's fight, I'll let you see the madness of a dying man!"

"Even if a Cardinal enters the Inquisition, he will not be able to get out."

The next second, the collision of holy light and holy fire completely exploded in the sky!

This was a Legendary battle!

Or rather, infighting within the Church of the Sun God!

At this moment, the city of Bremen, like a powder keg, was completely ignited!
