Chapter 980: Serving in the Imperial Capital, the Secret of the Basic Magic Device

Lu Xingshi and Bula found a village to report the incident to. This time the people there reacted quickly and cleaned up the mess quickly.

It's a pity that they arrived too late. The Kongmo had already deserted the town and destroyed the entire town. Even if someone came to take over the town, it would not be easy to recover.

As for Lu Xingshi, he was settled there.

But the matter was not over yet. When the empire discovered that one of its towns had been hollowed out by the void demons and became a hotbed for the other side's development, it was furious.

And screening began in various regions of the empire.

This action was not small at all, it was even bigger than the robot's initial attack.

The robot attack was an overt action, while the Sky Demon was really taking action bit by bit.

Lu Xingshi guessed that the empire must have known about it before, but it was inconvenient to move forward due to conflicts of interest. This time, they had an excuse, so they took this action.

After that, things had little to do with Lu Xingshi until just three days after he was resettled, when he received a new transfer order.

"Let me take up a position in the imperial capital? No, are you serious?" Lu Xingshi looked at the official letter in his hand.

For a moment he couldn't understand why?
Given his position, this is basically the end of his career.

After some investigation, he found out something interesting, that is, he was not the only one transferred there, but many other people were transferred to this newly established department.

More importantly, these people, like Lu Xingshi, all possessed the basic magic devices distributed by the major companies at the time, but they were not activated into robots.

In addition, the basic magic device was upgraded to the final model.

However, these people are different from Lu Xingshi. They basically have three to five magical devices on them. They are not like Lu Xingshi who is giving up and still only has one.

Mainly because for Lu Xingshi, this is of no use at all, but he doesn't want to be too unsociable, so he upgraded it, otherwise he would have retired the mental floating cannon long ago.

In addition to these, the biggest problem is that the entire process of establishing and investing the department was green-lighted, and it was successfully established the day after the Kongmo incident broke out.

Such efficiency is simply unrealistic in a vast empire. Unless there are some common interests, it will only be possible to achieve such a fast speed.

Apparently, the robot attack and the air demon incident had irritated a tense nerve in the empire.

That's why this happened.

"How is it impossible? You are the hero who uncovered the Kongmo incident. It is normal for you to go to the imperial capital." The temporary colleague who brought him the official letter said with a smile.

As for jealousy? There is no such thing. You have to know that escaping from a town full of air demons is really a life-and-death struggle.

If you are really jealous of the future that you have obtained at the cost of your life, you probably won't have many friends in your daily life.

It's not a bargain that falls from the sky, so maybe you would feel uncomfortable.

"That's true, but the position level is a bit too high." Lu Xingshi complained: "This position has strict requirements. The minimum requirement is to be an intermediate magician."

"I'm only a beginner now, definitely not qualified." Lu Xingshi didn't want to go, but wanted to get benefits.

The person who went there must have been an experimental subject, what else could it be?

"Don't worry about that. Your assessment has already been arranged. With your ability to escape successfully, it will be no problem for you to be evaluated for the title of intermediate magician." The other party looked confident.

Well, this must be inside information. They really took great pains to get him to go to the imperial capital.

The title of intermediate magician is probably just a formality. As long as he doesn't go too far, he will definitely pass.

In the end, Lu Xingshi could only nod and say, "Okay, the empire has trained me so much, I will definitely repay the empire!"

Make sure to snatch the other party's achievements directly, without leaving any behind.

"Okay then, pack up and go to the imperial capital."

"The ticket has been booked for you. It's for tomorrow morning." The other party said, handing over another plane ticket.

It was obvious that this guy came prepared, otherwise he would have been ready as soon as Lu Xingshi opened his mouth.

This is normal. After all, these positions are assigned to specific people. When Lu Xingshi was settled there, he occupied a position, which affected the interests of some people.

So naturally everyone was happy to spend some money to send Lu Xingshi away.

"Thank you very much." Lu Xingshi took it. He had been running around these days and couldn't have a peaceful life.

But once we get to the imperial capital, we should be able to have some peace and stability for a while.

"Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll be busy first. You should pack up as soon as possible so as not to miss the flight." The other party said and left.

After everyone left, Lu Xingshi did not clean up at all. Instead, he took out the spirit floater and began to dismantle it.

He had dismantled it once before and there were no problems at that time, so he re-tested it this time.

"It's just a normal magic device, there's nothing wrong with it." Lu Xingshi frowned.

With his strength, if there was anything abnormal, he would have noticed it when he was following him, let alone dismantling it.

This means that this magic device is a normal magic device and there is no problem with it.

"If it's so common, then why..." Lu Xingshi became more and more confused: "It seems that we can only notice it after arriving in the imperial capital."

In fact, for some of the empire's secret plans, Lu Xingshi was more concerned about the other party's special technology that could block his perception. This must have an unusual origin.

It is very likely related to the Agent of Order.

It is not impossible for the Empire to obtain it. The simplest point is that the birth of the Agent of Order is the joint effort of multiple generations of those favored by Destiny.

As the protagonist leading the times, he definitely has a close relationship with the empire, so it is very likely that he possesses some power of the Agent of Order to create gods and hide it from the gods.

Otherwise, if he really knew that the empire was creating a god, how could the former Lord of the Empire's Glory sit idly by and would have taken action long ago.

It is even possible to join forces with the Children of the Stars, after all, both parties have interests at stake.

"The basic model is the earliest style of magic devices. It can be said that all subsequent magic devices are built on these basic models."

“So they are looking for their roots, not just the empire, but also the original giant companies.”

Now it seems that the so-called desire to transform from a chaebol into a warlord is probably just one-sided talk of the empire, and the giant companies probably also want to create their own artificial gods.

The source of this hidden technology is also a giant enterprise, or rather, the person favored by fate who created the giant enterprise.

"It seems that I really have to go this time." Lu Xingshi thought to himself, wondering if the robot attack was also related to this matter.

After all, it is related to the magic device. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for the robots to continue to lie dormant?

The reason why Lu Xingshi thought so was because he discovered that the robot leader was also missing. The other party was not dead, but disappeared quietly.

So Lu Xingshi suspected that robots might also be part of the raw materials.

Even the Sky Demon is possible.

Otherwise, given the development of the empire, as long as we are determined to take action, it will not be a big problem to completely destroy the air demons and robots.

As for the internal disputes? To put it bluntly, if you want to protect yourself by nurturing the enemy, you need someone to agree. The empire at that time was merciless to aliens.

The reason why they survived was not only because of internal conflicts of interest, but also because both the air demons and the robots were valuable. Otherwise, how could the robot leader obtain the pseudo-fire source technology? This extremely important technology could actually be obtained by the enemy.

This is a bit too absurd. The most likely possibility is that someone deliberately gave it to the robot leader.

The empire is a huge profit field, so even cannibalism is concealed, and this kind of thing must not be spread out. Otherwise, it will cause public opinion.

The top leaders do hold great power and are not afraid of public opinion, but it will affect their interests.

"None of them are easy to deal with. When it comes to seeking death, there is always someone stronger than you." Lu Xingshi complained.

It is not a good thing for mortals to come into contact with the realm of gods. Edward was a typical example of this.

Even if it succeeds, it will only be a puppet controlled by the priesthood, not a god with its own self.

...

"The progress of the Heavenly God Soldiers is still not optimistic. The information provided by the giant companies back then had errors and omissions."

"we need to…"

The Imperial Prime Minister listened to the researchers' report without taking his eyes off the artificial gods known as the Celestial Soldiers.

This is a god constructed of machinery and flesh and blood, a relic of an existence from one hundred thousand years ago. It is a powerful creature cloned by them through magic technology and space magic technology.

Fortunately, this is a god under their control.

It is precisely because of the existence of this man-made god that their empire has been able to come into contact with the rules of the world and hide from the eyes of those powerful gods.

"The souls of the mechanical men and the flesh and blood of the void demons can make up for it to a certain extent, but they are too few."

"We need to establish a sound breeding mechanism as soon as possible."

"Also, recycling the parts that were originally cut off by the giant companies can reduce a lot of costs," the researcher continued.

The part that was cut off naturally does not refer to the real magic device, but rather represents the prototype of its divine duty. It was originally incomplete, and now it is even more dilapidated.

Even if it is not recycled, it can actually be replenished, but the cost will be higher.

"I know." The Imperial Prime Minister replied calmly, thinking about the cost in his mind.

The empire created gods naturally in order to deal with the gods and completely control themselves.

"Prime Minister, there is one more thing..." The researcher said again: "The God Soldiers may require a blood sacrifice."

"Otherwise, he will most likely become another agent of order, which will pose a great risk."

In blood sacrifice, of course, humans are used.

After all, it is humans who are going to control this man-made deity.

"How much do you want?" The Prime Minister of the Empire did not hesitate at all. This was not a big problem.

"At least 100 million people are needed for the Heavenly Soldiers to possess..." The researcher was interrupted by the Prime Minister of the Empire before he could finish his words.

"I'll take care of it," said the Imperial Prime Minister. "This is a necessary sacrifice."
