Chapter 63: The Secret of Laomoer!

Large numbers of undead ravens converged, deathly gray mist gathered.

Necromancer Aobuli walked out from the deathly gray mist.

Greetings, Lord Aobuli, Mentor.

Everyone, near or far, bowed in salute.

Even Amandi inside the small fortress gave up control of the undead, rose and saluted.

Since the mentor has arrived, they no longer needed to stubbornly hold their ground.

As these undead creatures began to advance toward level 25.

Amandi's current defense is already strained.

After looking around, Lord Aobuli slowly spoke.

Laomoergaota has currently checked the erosion of the Dark Sun.

Non-undead tower personnel, each return to your own towers.

Following Necromancer Aobuli's order.

Those who came to defend upon receiving orders, or came to seize the opportunity to gain experience and other benefits, the students from other towers all left.

Soon, only over ten people remained in this defense zone.

Besides Take and Tanilu, all were necromancers.

Aobuli waved his hand; inside the lower rock-valley passage, several undead mist vortices appeared.

Skeleton soldiers of level forty-plus continuously poured out from the undead mist vortices.

With Lord Aobuli present, holding the undead rift is no problem.

After doing all that.

Come over, everyone!

Aobuli walked toward a side underground passage.

Everyone followed suit.

Do we have to go too?

Inside the small fortress, Tanilu seemed somewhat reluctant.

Either be turned into a sheep here, or go together.

Take walked down, speaking lightly.

Better to go, at least die with understanding." Tanilu clenched his fist, whispered.

He is a smart person; this time the undead rift has lasted so long that Lord Aobuli only now arrived.

The situation of Laomoergaotachengbang will surely not be good.

And as a member who betrayed Laomoer, he might today be sacrificed to the flag.

…………

Deep in the underground cavern was a medium-sized meeting room.

The wall lamps were lit by flames condensed through necromantic arts.

Aside from a slight crackling of the flames.

The meeting room was eerily silent.

These past few days, everyone also received some news, more or less.

Although the source of the news was not certain.

But among the much news, most of it was not good.

This time, Laomoer suffered heavy losses.

Aobuli's voice was somewhat hoarse and rough.

Everyone held their breath and looked over.

Laomoer's wall beacon defense line was basically destroyed, large numbers of beacon guards died in battle.

Then, the Anrieduo attacked Laomoerdichaoqu, where many extraordinary individuals were captured or killed.

Although the nest area is rather barren, it has always been the population focus of Laomoergaota.

It can be said to be the source of fresh blood for Laomoergaota.

This time, the nest area suffered heavy losses.

Moreover, the source pool of the Zhengqigaota was also contaminated to some extent.

Laomoer... can be said to have been wounded at its foundation.

If the source pool of the Zhengqigaota cannot complete self-cleansing and purification.

The situation is highly likely to worsen further.

Following Lord Aobuli's exposition.

Everyone in the meeting room remained silent.

This situation was nearly the worst scenario anyone could imagine.

No matter how Laomoer proceeds forward.

Aobuli's voice remained as ever, cold and hoarse.

Your upcoming task is simple: in the coming time, maintain the safety of the undead tower while striving to increase your strength.

After scanning the crowd, Necromancer Aobuli began assigning tasks.

Feiliya, your upcoming task is to conduct a regional patrol......

Everyone received their own task, even Amandi had a task to clear the rat tide.

As those carrying out tasks continually departed.

Soon, only Lord Ao Bu Li, Ta Ke, and Ta Ni Lu remained in the meeting room.

The necromancer "Ao Bu Li" seemed to be thinking about something.

Ta Ke sat steadily in the corner.

Ta Ni Lu, meanwhile, felt a sense of torment.

After a moment, Ao Bu Li opened his deep eyes and looked at Ta Ke.

"Did you get the steam core?"

"Yes!" Ta Ke nodded.

"Not bad!" Ao Bu Li showed a rare smile on his face.

"If possible, I would be happy to take you near the Steam High Tower's 'Steam Smelting Furnace' and 'Steam Sequence', guide the power of the Steam High Tower, and help you complete the steam ascension."

"But now... the Steam High Tower is fully resisting the erosion."

"If you want to advance here in La Mo Er, you'll have to rely on your own strength."

"I understand!"

Ta Ke nodded solemnly.

To be honest, Ta Ke also had the idea of relying on the Steam High Tower.

But... Ta Ke also prepared to proceed without any help from the Steam High Tower.

After all, an SSS-rank talent is not just for show.

When external help fails, one must rely on talent.

"Also!"

Ao Bu Li looked at Ta Ke solemnly.

"I have a private matter to discuss with you."

Ta Ni Lu, hearing this, let out a big sigh of relief.

After all, once Lord Ao Bu Li reprimands someone, he is definitely the first to be sacrificed.

It now seems Lord Ao Bu Li obviously doesn't care about his own opinion.

Ta Ni Lu rose, gave a salute, and withdrew swiftly.

After Ta Ni Lu fled the meeting room,

Ao Bu Li then looked at Ta Ke.

"You... how will you deal with him?"

"This guy may have betrayed La Mo Er, but now he's also carrying enough blame."

"Letting him attract attention and scrutiny is a good choice, after all..."

Ta Ke paused.

"The true traitor of La Mo Er has not been caught."

Ta Ke's words stirred Ao Bu Li's heart slightly.

After a moment, Ao Bu Li gave a slight nod.

"Yes! That traitor has never shown his face from beginning to end."

"When we opened the Gate of Steam, that traitor not only fled but also wiped away all traces of himself cleanly."

"The problem I left you with is... can you help us find that traitor again?"

In Ao Bu Li's expectant gaze.

Ta Ke answered sincerely and straightforwardly.

"Sorry, Lord Ao Bu Li, I can't do that."

"The last time I discovered that A-rank Evil God genius, it happened to be at a crossroads."

"That feeling was like... some kind of convergence of fate."

"Besides that A-rank Evil God genius, I encountered several wizards with decent talent."

"It was precisely because that Evil God genius's digestion of the power of the Dark Day was imperfect that I managed to perceive it."

"Even if that old wizard stood before me, I wouldn't see much."

Ao Bu Li listened quietly.

"A convergence of fate?"

"Such an opportunity is indeed rare, and this very convergence of fate can be said to have, to some extent, saved La Mo Er."

"But..."

Ao Bu Li glanced at Ta Ke and didn't say more.

He believed that, given Ta Ke's keen insight, there was no need for him to elaborate; Ta Ke should already know.

Taking a deep breath, Ao Bu Li slowly calmed his emotions.

After a long while, he then looked at Ta Ke again.

"I have another very important matter to discuss with you."

"That is, La Mo Er has its own secret, and it is an astonishingly big secret."

"Very few people know this secret; over the years, only I, Bei Lai, Ao Si Wei Ya, and La Mo Er—just a handful of us—have known it."

"For now, it's uncertain how much longer La Mo Er can continue to exist."

"According to the order of the Count of La Mo Er, this secret can be made known to more people so they can explore it."

"You... are one of the personnel I have selected."

"Whether you can explore it depends on your own abilities, means, and luck."

"The secret of La Mo Er?"

Ta Ke's spirits suddenly rose a notch; before this, Ta Ke had never known that La Mo'er actually had a secret unknown to others.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Aubri's slightly coarse and hoarse voice sounded.

"Listen well, in La Mo'er's..."
