Magic Tech’s Lair

The City of Frost and Snow has been occupied by the Angel Army, but entry and exit are not prohibited, but strict interrogation is required.

Before Cao Yan came, he had prepared ways to deal with interrogations. If he wanted to create a virtual identity in his current position, that identity would become real and he would not be afraid of interrogations at all.

What's more, Boss Cao also changed his appearance.

For gods, even large magic weapons can change their length to a certain extent and slightly adjust their appearance.

At this time, Cao Yan's cheeks became much rounder, and he looked harmless, like a fat little man.

The old man next to him has a stooped back, like his old housekeeper.

Both were disguised and changed their appearance.

Teleporting into the city of frost and snow, after an interrogation, they walked on the streets of the city and quietly took in the situation in the city.

Although the City of Frost and Snow had just experienced a war and was occupied by the Angel Army, it was basically intact and there were not many traces of the war. However, there was no bustle of people coming and going, and the streets were in a state of depression. Occasionally, there were a few pedestrians walking in a hurry.

Several angels were suspended in the air, with bright eyes, overlooking the city.

The entire city is under the absolute control of the Angel Army.

When Cao Yan and the old man were walking along an alley, they saw a sphere as big as the bright moon in the distance in the direction of the city center. It was lifted up into the sky by two angels, and the light illuminated the night sky.

In a short time, the sound of chanting scriptures could be heard all over the city, and the source was the ball of light in the sky.

It is a tool used by the Light pantheon to spread faith.

The sound of the scriptures sealed in the light ball can be spread over hundreds of miles, exerting a subtle influence on the consciousness of every listener.

The weaker the mental power, the easier it is to be affected. Only professionals can resist it.

That's why Cao Yan took out the natal ball in the meeting hall before, and everyone reacted so excitedly. Letting more ordinary people become professionals is the best way to fundamentally resist the church's spiritual invasion.

"How long will it take for this method of using sound to confuse people's hearts and make them believers to be effective?" Cao Yan asked the old man beside him.

"Within three hours, an ordinary person will have seeds of light planted in their consciousness and become a light believer."

The old man's voice was filled with a strong sense of twilight,

Answer slowly.

After a pause, he continued: "I heard that you developed a beast-catching ball called the natal ball, which can turn ordinary people into low-level professionals?"

Cao Yan: "Your information is quite good."

The old man said: "You deprived me of my abilities, but you did not prohibit me from walking around in the Sky City. I am not old enough to be deaf, so I naturally know some things. You are in the semiotics studio in the underground space of the Sky City, making I knew it when the first natal ball came out.

The main task of your semiotics team in recent years is to assist you in researching this kind of natal ball, right? "

Cao Yan said nothing, and the old man thought to himself: "I can tell you that although the natal ball can play a certain role, it cannot fundamentally solve the problem. The Light God System's research on belief systems is much deeper than yours.

They will have ways to deal with it. "

Cao Yan calmly said: "How do you know that I have no other means? If I say that the natal ball is just an attempt on my part, I am deliberately testing the church's response method, do you believe it?"

The old man thought for a while and nodded slowly: "You can single-handedly create the city in the sky, create the situation in front of you, and fight against the God of Light. You are truly a genius. Since you said it, I naturally believe it. "

Cao Yan looked at the old man slightly surprised, obviously not expecting that he would give him such a high evaluation.

The old man continued: "During such a sensitive period, you personally sneaked into the northern territory occupied by the angel army and took me with you. What is your purpose?"

Cao Yan smiled: "You will know."

More than an hour later, the old man and Cao Yan arrived at the core area of ​​the city.

This is the only area in the entire city that can be seen to have experienced the baptism of war.

A large building complex standing in the center of the city has collapsed. The surrounding ground is cracked everywhere, and arcs are still jumping on the ruins of some buildings.

A large magic airship seemed to have been knocked down from the sky. It was torn apart and dilapidated.

There was obviously a fierce battle here not long ago.

"The angel army captured this place about six hours ago. The collapsed building in front is where the city's ruling forces work. Angels dropped divine punishment from the sky and turned it into ruins. The main members of the city's ruling forces and The city troops who guarded them, a total of more than 13,200 people, were condemned as heretics and were all executed.

These include more than 1,700 minors and 669 children under the age of ten. "

Cao Yan stood at the corner of a quiet alley, looking at the city center, and said to the old man: "There are the last batch of people undergoing execution in the square in front."

In the direction Cao Yan was looking at, in the square in front of the collapsed building, there were nearly a hundred torture racks erected there.

There was a prisoner hanging on each execution rack. There were men, women, old and young. Most of them had died long ago, and their bodies were dangling on the execution rack.

Looking at it in the night, it is shocking.

Some of the execution racks were empty, but there was gray-white powder underneath them, which were the traces left after the human body was burned with holy fire by church personnel.

"There are seven or eight-year-old children on the torture rack. Are they also what the church calls heretics?"

Cao Yan said with a sarcastic tone: "The exclusivity of the religious system is really inhumane."

The old man opened his turbid eyes wide and looked hard at the direction of the execution racks: "Since you think they have been treated unfairly, why don't you save them?"

Cao Yan said: "Although they are still breathing, they are already dead."

The old man was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Cao Yan meant. The people on the execution rack in the distance were clearly still breathing. Why did Cao Yan say they were dead?

The old man looked thoughtful.

At this time, many people from all directions in the city began to gather in the center of the city, and the number gradually increased.

The common feature of these people is that they all have a hint of excitement and longing in their expressions, and their eyes are fixed on the scripture light ball in the sky.

They are the residents of the city who gathered here because of the influence of the chanting of scriptures.

They want to join the church and become believers.

"In just one hour, some people were influenced by the scriptures and came to gather." Cao Yan said solemnly.

Old man: "You brought me here just to see this?"

"Your Majesty, please be patient. The topic is about to come." Cao Yan sneered.

The old man was Pope Saint Gregory.

He became Cao Yan's prisoner a few years ago, and was then deprived of the Great Light Code. Now he is just like an ordinary old man.

The relationship between him and Cao Yan has become a bit strange during several years of imprisonment and mutual contact, and it seems that they are no longer enemies in a pure sense.

The moment Cao Yan finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from not far away from the two of them: "What are you doing here?"

Cao Yan and the Pope looked behind them together.

Not far behind them stood a middle-aged man and two attendants, both of whom were professionals with strong auras.

Everyone wears light golden cuffs on their arms, indicating that they are peripheral members of the church.

The leader of the middle-aged man held a light cord with electric light in his hand, examined Cao Yan and the two men, and ordered his two subordinates: "These two people are hiding in the dark, peeking into the central square, acting suspiciously. Let me arrest them. .”

The two attendants responded and stepped towards Cao Yan.

At the same moment, Cao extended his hands, and in an instant, the space tightened, like a cage.

The middle-aged man and his two thugs seemed to have been cast a restraining spell and were imprisoned in place.

The three of them were horrified and wanted to speak to warn, but found that they couldn't even make a sound.

The two thugs fell to the ground and died silently. The remaining middle-aged man was terrified.

Cao Yan took out a beast-trapping ball and calmly took the bodies of the two thugs in, destroying the bodies and removing any traces.

In the current chaotic situation in the city that has just been occupied, the disappearance of several members of the church's peripheral church will not cause any waves.

Afterwards, Cao Yan took out the Great Light Canon, handed it to the Pope and said: "Your church has a kind of light magic of spiritual residence. I need you to use it. Let the two of us live in his body."

Cao Yan pointed at the middle-aged man and continued to the Pope: "You should be aware of my methods. There are many ways to make you do what I say, so I hope you will take the initiative to cooperate and save both of us trouble."

The Pope frowned, took the Great Light Book, and touched the cover of the book with his wrinkled hands.

He recited a few words in a low voice, and a page from the Great Light Book fell off, stretched out, and wrapped Cao Yan and him in it.

After a while, the page suddenly shrank, reversing the dimension of space, and turned into a small, almost invisible, faint light spot, which landed on the middle-aged man's eyebrows, flickered several times, and then disappeared.

"You brought me to the Northern Territory because you wanted to use me to activate the Great Light Canon and hide it in order to... sneak into the Angel Army?" the Pope asked.

The two of them were wrapped in the pages of the book and settled in the middle-aged man's consciousness. It was as if they were in a room with flowing light, which was extremely strange.

"That's right, only if you personally use the Great Light Canon can you be sure to hide it from the detection of the angels who also have the power of light." Cao Yan admitted bluntly.

At this time, under the control of Cao Yan, the middle-aged man was like a puppet on strings, and his face began to change.

When he walked out of the alley where Cao Yan had hidden before, he looked completely different from before. Combined with the crowds gathering from all directions on the street, they suddenly became ordinary people who had gathered from the city under the influence of the sound of the scriptures.

Cao Yan and Pope hid in the middle-aged man and walked towards the city square with the gathering crowd.

The Pope thought: "Cao Yan went to great lengths to disguise himself as a believer and sneak into the Angel Army... What exactly is he going to do?"

————

Nearly three hours later, the middle-aged man controlled by Cao Yan, together with many believers in the city, after undergoing several inspections, were able to leave the Frost and Snow City through a portal built by the angel army, and came to To an unknown area on the other side of the portal.

At this time, the middle-aged man where the Pope and Cao Yan were hiding were surrounded by believers who had been transported from the Frost and Snow City. They were densely packed, numbering in the thousands.

Above where they were standing was a dome composed of a light screen, on which scriptures flowed, exuding a strong power of light.

The dome extended for more than a thousand meters to the left and right, and then converged downward.

The Pope hid in the consciousness of the middle-aged man, and with the help of the power of the Great Light Canon, he explored the outside environment and thought: This seems to be a platform about a thousand meters long...

Cao Yan seemed to be able to see through the Pope's mind and said through spiritual transmission: "If my judgment is correct, this should be the ship of the Lord God Michael, and these believers who were teleported are standing on the deck of the bow."

The Pope was taken aback, "This is Michael's Boat of Light, so what are you doing here?"

As he finished speaking, he suddenly discovered that a layer of scripture imprints appeared on the ground in the area where many believers were, slowly rotating, including all the believers.

The gray-black aura was pulled out from the brows of many believers and fell into the scripture imprint below.

Soon after, believers one after another fell to the ground, eyes closed, and only weak breathing left.

The Pope remembered what Cao Yan had just said in the City of Frost and Snow, that the heretics on the torture rack were dead, and they and the believers in front of them were in the same situation as if they had retreated.

They have been drained of their spiritual power... the Pope thought.

The substance extracted from the brows of many believers is their soul power, that is, spiritual power. When the spiritual power is extracted and dried up, the person is almost dead. There is no consciousness anymore and only a body is left.

At this time, the middle-aged man controlled by Pope and Cao Yan also fell to the ground.

What no one noticed was that the moment the middle-aged man fell to the ground among the many believers, an undetectable shadow appeared between his eyebrows and disappeared into the void.

The Pope watched Cao Yan break away from the middle-aged man's body and turn into an undercurrent of nothingness. He boldly played tricks under the noses of many angels. Then he took out another tube of potion and drank it. He suddenly transformed into an angel.

"What on earth are you doing here?" the Pope asked again.

Cao Yan casually retrieved the Great Light Canon, put the Pope into a trapping ball, and said through a message:

"The reason why those people were drained of their spiritual power just now was because the two main gods, Michael and Mercury, were injured. In order to recover as quickly as possible, they did not hesitate to kill the goose and take the eggs, extracting the spiritual power of these believers to increase their own recovery. speed.

I received a report from my subordinates that since the Angel Army captured the Northern Territory, at least two million people have disappeared inexplicably, so I came here to take a look. What we see now is the truth of their disappearance. They were 'eaten' by Michael. "

Cao Yan said: "Is this the result of believing in the gods of light?"

The Pope was horrified. The facts were before his eyes, and there was no room for him to refute.

A thought suddenly occurred to him, and he understood the reason why Cao Yan sneaked into the Ship of Light: "You sneaked here to assassinate Michael? You are crazy! If Michael is really on this ship, he must have known that you boarded at this moment. Once you get on the Boat of Light, you have no chance."

I have more than 500,000 points, but I am afraid that he is a bad old man who is injured... Cao Yan choked lightly.
