Chapter 103: La Moer on the Verge of Collapse!

~8 min read 1,564 words

The Undead Tower.

A plain room near the top level, propped up using the magical cottage's properties as a framework.

The windows are like an oil painting in an art exhibition.

Only, more than 95% of the paint fill is dense darkness.

Moreover, that dense darkness twists and rotates, flowing slowly.

Aside from that, everything inside the cottage remains relatively normal.

In the small fireplace, flames rise, providing sufficient heat to the cottage.

Ta Ke, on the meditation wool blanket, has just completed a small ceremony for the Great Barrier.

The object of worship in the ceremony is still the Iron Pair Source Wall.

"Child, this is the cruel reality."

Although I have known this situation for a long time.

On the contrary, the steam core is immersed in its own wizard sequence, showing little activity.

"The deal with the Dark Sun Church may not be trustworthy."

Fortunately, the protective property of this magical cottage is strong.

"And there is also your next stop."

"The indigenous residents over there despise undead wizards and hope they won't drive me away."

For a moment, Ta Ke even struggles to find precise words to describe this damned cold, abstract picture of reality.

This so-called deal is still full of mutual deceit.

Ta Ke whispered.

"This time, the demon king's tomb expedition, the squad you led, has harvested sufficiently abundant Demon King sequence traits for La Moer."

Taking a step back,

"but we also have a fallback."

Ta Ke still feels a vague flutter in his heart.

Ta Ke almost thought he was absorbing a fake steam core.

Trading with La Moer?

Ta Ke furrows his brow slightly.

After completing the ceremony, Ta Ke packs away the small wooden altar.

Or wait until the steam core erupts, and he becomes a steam wizard.

"Remember, Count La Moer is a formidable wizard."

He glances at the nearby sealed window.

Ta Ke doesn't know whether he's devout or not, but the convenience is truly convenient.

However, the steam talent has not manifested yet, nor the imagined steam metamorphosis that would officially turn him into a steam wizard.

"If I can finally escape, perhaps I'll first travel around the world; years ago I loved sailing trips."

"Whether it's the apprentices inside the tower or the supernal beings in the lower regions."

"But... this is the reality of the supernal world."

Ta Ke takes a deep breath.

After sitting for a moment,

"Sit down!"

What fits is the best.

But the Barrier trait isn't particularly powerful.

"Tomorrow, you need to visit Count La Moer."

Ao Buli's gaze, laden with meaning, passes over Ta Ke before he slowly speaks.

Ta Ke is pondering whether to take out that old source‑energy steam engine and attempt alchemy on the boss‑level materials.

"Hehe..."

"Everything follows Count La Moer's arrangements, understand?"

No matter how it's said, Ta Ke must fully melt those boss‑level materials before he can perform the devouring absorption ascent.

"You think of them too highly."

"In the end, it's because La Moer's strength is too weak."

Ta Ke's eyebrows lift slightly.

"And you... as a major contributor to this demon king tomb expedition, the reward will naturally not be small."

If Ta Ke hadn't precisely discerned that the Angel steam core continues to seep into his wizard tree incessantly.

"Moreover, if you understand a bit deeper, you'll more clearly realize how cold the reality La Moer faces is."

"In Saint Land, how far you can go depends on yourselves."

"If we don't flee, you can escape."

Ao Buli, after a deep breath, softens his tone slightly.

"Us?"

Can Ta Ke's current wizard ecology truly withstand the impact of two boss‑level and one quasi‑lord‑level forces?

After all, Ta Ke still hasn't had time to melt the boss‑level core materials.

"The bloodline may be severed, but the 【Sequence】 endures!"

"After all, living gives hope, and death leaves nothing."

「Teacher Ao Bu Li! 」 Ta Ke stood and greeted.

Ta Ke was protected.

"All of you have been forced to leave."

This is a rough estimate of Ta Ke's direction.

"Understood!"

"Even this is already a good situation."

Ao Bu Li's voice was cold and devoid of emotion.

"So, we used La Mo Er to make a deal with them."

Ta Ke still showed no sign of being released.

Ta Ke withdrew his gaze and pulled out a small pot of black horn beef soup that had been simmering for a while from the fireplace.

But this is reality.

Today is already the third day since Ta Ke came out.

「Creak! 」 a sound.

The Iron Couple Source Wall is also currently the most suitable for Ta Ke.

"Afterward, I will go to the vicinity of Star Sea Border Island to settle for a while; it's said that the waves, sand beaches, and sunsets there are beautiful."

Ao Bu Li looked at Ta Ke and asked.

"The appearance of light bought some time for La Mo Er."

This time, inside the La Mo Er High Tower, all who had entered the Demon King's Tomb were transcendent beings.

"Afterward... I will return to my hometown to take a look."

"After all, the volume of my steam core is also far larger than that of others' steam cores."

This method of fixing ritual materials with small wooden planks is ready to use immediately, being both simple and quick.

"Having the transcendent beings desperately protect La Mo Er is not very meaningful."

Even in such a desperate situation.

"This increased La Mo Er's capital for negotiation and trade."

Otherwise, Ta Ke really thought he had been placed under house arrest.

Ta Ke's eyes narrowed slightly as he asked in a low voice: "Is it that the day after the Demon King's Tomb ended, those powerful figures from other forces who had originally promised to give La Mo certain protection fled?"

"Yes!"

They were all protected.

"The sequences inherited in your bodies are our continuation, as well as the continuation of La Mo Er's ecology."

Ta Ke did not respond.

A simple sentence has already pronounced the death sentence on La Mo Er.

Ta Ke nodded solemnly.

Ta Ke also dared not rashly raise his level and be the first to advance to the second stage.

Only then is it steady and safe.

"Those black-hearted locals will crush the bones of outsiders, thereby squeezing out every last drop of oil and water."

Not to mention the steam core being stuck there, whether Ta Ke can complete the advancement to the second stage.

"I believe you can adapt to the outside world, but you must still be careful."

"Yes!"

The apparently ordinary wall transformed into a doorway that was pushed open.

Ta Ke's heart gave a slight tremor.

Ta Ke looked toward the door; Lord Ao Bu Li had arrived.

"But the Dark Sun Church will not allow us to retreat safely."

"It is because I absorbed part of the angel sequence that the steam core's adaptation requires more time."

Ao Bu Li gave two cold snorts.

After finishing the meal.

"They are also too..."

The steam core does not erupt, nor does it transform into a steam wizard.

The steam core imbued with the properties of the angel sequence, although it has been completely absorbed by Ta Ke.

"La Mo Er needs someone to stand the final watch."

"There aren't that many unhappy stories, and no one will come to save La Mo Er."

Ao Bu Li's somewhat hoarse voice sounded slowly: "The personnel of La Mo Er are retreating."

"Letting them leave alive, leaving La Mo Er, is the correct choice."

"They couldn't even be bothered to wait until the next day... they fled that very day."

Just as the Silver Radiance Holy Wall is very suitable for the offspring of the evil god, "Wen De Er·Fu Lang Xi Si".

Not long after.

He continued to enjoy it.

After processing the materials, then complete the advancement.

Ao Bu Li narrated in a calm voice.

"Do you feel we should hold onto La Mo Er to the death, expending the last drop of blood?"

Ao Bu Li smiled, he looked out the window, seeing the twisted darkness presented on the ink painting scroll, deep and oppressive.

Clad in a black necromancer wizard's robe, Lord Aubrey, whose demeanor was cold and gloomy, walked in.

Even without phase-shifting, Ta Ke could still tear open the magical hut's barriers and escape.

Not only Ta Ke.

Although Ta Ke could delve into the layers of the Silver Radiance Holy Wall, he could even touch a certain 'Crystal Source Initial Wall'.

"We few in Lamore, using our sequences, construct the Sequence Tree, building a steam ecology."

"The destination is Sheng Lan De."

"Currently, many talented extraordinary beings from La Mo Er have been secretly sent out."

But hearing that the extraordinary ecology that nurtures and protects them is about to head toward destruction.

The necromancer wizard Aubrey slowly raised his head, looking toward Ta Ke.

"And you seniors?"

"After meeting Count La Mo Er, you will also have to leave La Mo Er, go out into the wider world, and be extra careful."

"Ugh… my hometown has long been submerged by the Dark Sun, and even my dust‑sealed memories of it are somewhat unclear."

Aubrey expounded in a low, deep voice.

Ta Ke remained silent, standing still there, firmly memorizing every word of the necromancer wizard Aubrey's exposition.
