The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 84, Rekindling

"The lady is dead." Fugate said to Arlecino with a heavy face.

Although the lady is not very good at speaking, she is still a good person. Her diplomatic skills and various strategies are top-notch.

Some of the Fatui's arrangements in other countries can only be handled by ladies. If other executives take over... you can imagine what a mess it will be.

The most important thing is that ladies are one of the few neutral factions among the executive officers.

Sometimes he would help the new executive, Alechino, by speaking up.

Of course, the newest one among the executives now is not Arlecino, but Ajax... or Tartaglia.

"How could that be?" Alechino's face looked a little serious.

"How did she die? Who else would dare to kill Inazuma except that Narukami?"

"Don't worry too much, wait for me to summon her soul." said Fugate.

The God of War was relatively merciful and allowed Hetala's backup plan to take away Rosaline's soul.

"...It seems that it is not necessary." said Fugate.

Fugate had just finished speaking.

Hetala ran out from the subspace.

"Help, help, help~" and handed a fire butterfly to Fugate.

"Give it to me." Fuget's eyes glowed blue, and a large amount of subspace power poured into the fire butterfly.

Rosaline's shadow appeared, but then...

A violent flame began to burn, and it seemed that any spiritual energy input would be burned up.

"Hmph!" Fuget snorted coldly.

He took out an evil eye of ice element, and the blue light in the eye was cold.

An executive-level evil eye of ice element, evolved from the high-level evil eye that the doctor gave to Fuget.

Although the high-level Evil Eye Executive at that time could be used, it was not the top-notch one. Now, after being refined and strengthened by Fget, the side effects of this Evil Eye have been reduced a lot, and its power has also increased a lot.

The cold air immediately covered the flames, and a figure appeared in the ice. Then Fuget retracted the ice element evil eye.

His evil eye of ice element is just a trigger to bring out the power that the Queen once bestowed upon Rosaline.

Rosaline's ice element is not just the evil eye, it is also a gift from the Queen.

"That's all we can do for now." Fugate said, "Rosaline, can you hear me?"

"...Okay." Rosalind's voice came from the ice.

"Teacher...you have to save her. She is the only one left in the Lowfat family." Hetala said to Fuget.

"...I told you this is the limit right now." Fugett hesitated for a moment and said, "There are currently two ways to save Rosaline."

"They are the resurrection rituals of Nata from the Fire Nation."

"Or maybe we can ask that Narukami to salvage Rosaline's essence from Inazuma's veins until we have enough..."

That’s right, if Rosalind is calculated based on her essence now, she doesn’t even have one.

This was mainly because Rosaline was not an orthodox "follower", so her essence was originally relatively small. In addition, the battle with the traveler had really burned up a lot of her essence.

Therefore, its essence is relatively small.

"I'm afraid that we the Fatui won't have an easy time in Inazuma in the future. It's better not to suggest asking that Narukami for help."

After Rosaline calmed down, she began to recount the actions of herself, Tartaglia, and Sanbing in Inazuma.

"Did I underestimate that traveler's strength?" Alechino also became interested in a certain traveler.

"It's mainly about highlighting a tough character, rich combat experience, and the use of multiple elements," the lady concluded.

An ordinary top-level original god, that is, the normal Dada Duck, can be defeated by her only evil eye form. Even if Dada Duck activates the Demon King's Armor, the lady can easily defeat it as long as she awakens her true power.

But there was a certain guy with thick skin and strong flesh... He just couldn't be killed and he insisted on cutting himself with a blunt sword.

The lady felt a little screwed when she thought about it. This was completely different from the strength assessment she had received before.

Of course, after facing the power of thunder, the lady finally understood what it meant to respect the strong... In short, the ones who benefited were Fget and the others.

Because the lady's words really sound much nicer.

The lady then asked Alecino to send him back to the Winter Palace.

"I see." Alecino nodded. "The captain has plans to go to Nata, but you have to be prepared..."

Although the captain is very strong, the God of Fire is no pushover either. There are exceptions to everything.

Finally, the lady expressed her gratitude to Hetala. Without the help of this grandmother, she would probably have died. In addition, after she turned back into the Witch of Fire, she also regained her memory.

Among them is the figure of Hetala Zunan.

But my grandmother died a long time ago.

After all... General Raiden has been strengthened.

Even the creator of the film, Lei Dianying, doesn't know how powerful the enhanced Thunder General is.

I just know that no one is stronger than her.

After all, compared to General Thunder who only received a slight enhancement, her Thunder Movie received a greater enhancement.

Of course, the slight enhancement brought by psychic power to General Raiden is actually not worth mentioning. The important thing is that psychic power breaks the original upper limit of General Raiden as a puppet, allowing her to continue to evolve.

Fuget had no idea what General Thunder, who had an organic soul, could do.

I only know that if Lei Dianying and I fight...it's really hard to say who will win.

Although Lei Movie has received a lot of enhancements, most of them are enhancements in width and quantity.

Although the Thunder General received less enhancement, he broke the upper limit of the Thunder General and was a qualitative enhancement.

In the days that followed, Fugate lived a stable life, just like a vacation.

But obviously the author won't let him go so easily.

"We have discovered traces of the Abyss Cult in the Layered Abyss, including the Princess of the Abyss. I can't leave here, so you should go over there." Xiamian sent a psychic message.

"??? How did you know?" Fuget asked puzzledly through telepathy.

"You know I was in the city of Hua, and those people were quite close to me, so I actually saw them directly."

This spiritual vision is a bit outrageous, as the depths of the Abyss are beyond the reach of the High Heaven.

"Oh~ I also saw an acquaintance chasing those guys from the Abyss Cult, but that should be a thing in the future." Xia Mian said.

With a vision for the future...

"I understand. I'll take care of it." Fuget took off his sunglasses and looked at Alechino who was sitting on the recliner next to him. "The vacation time is over. Tell me where the Ninth Company is operating now. I need some information about the depths of the Layered Abyss."

"The Ninth Company is now operating near Soft Light Harbor." Alecino said with his eyes closed.

"Because they are still in the adaptation period, their tasks are relatively easy."

"By the way, Alechino." Fugate scratched his head.

"Anything else?" asked Alecino.

"Why haven't I heard of any new waterway construction recently?" asked Fugate.

"...I forgot that you didn't know about this." Alechino said, "Mr. Cares was accused of being the mastermind behind the girl's disappearance when you were obsessed with exploring the other world."

"And then he died in the duel."

"That's a pity. If he were still alive, he would definitely build a waterway from Fontainebleau to Roudeng Port." Fugate sighed.

This waterway is really useful. It is equivalent to a water highway. Not only does it run very fast and is relatively safe, it is also a very good sightseeing route.

"It's a pity." Alechino handed the written order to Fuget.

"By the way, do you need any help? It would be better to bring some help with you." asked Alecino.

"No, I don't want to be distracted by taking care of other people." Fuget said, "I'll leave the smelter's affairs to you, so you should focus on it."

"I know and I've been paying attention to it." The smelter is now one of the largest sources of cash flow for Hearth House.

The supporting factories above and below housed many people from the Hearth House who were not suitable to be spies and soldiers.

Back to the Ninth Company, most of the Fatui advance team members are only good at frontal assaults, but most of Alechino's men are special forces such as the servants.

Most of the work carried out was to obtain intelligence behind enemy lines, which was very different from the work of the advance team.

So they need to make some adaptations. It doesn't mean that they have to give up their previous skills, but they need to learn more about the fighting methods of the servants.

Fugate soon appeared in Soft Light Harbor. "Soft Light Harbor is still so prosperous." Fugate said with emotion.

"Alechino said the Ninth Company was operating here, but why is there no one here?"

Fugate walked around again and finally found the people from the Ninth Company in an abandoned Hillichell camp.

"Uh~ What are you doing?" Fugate asked puzzledly.

"We are conducting routine training to clean out the Hilichurls, Your Excellency the Chief Instructor." The company commander, who was a captain, saluted and said to Fuget.

"Hello instructor, my name is Anton, sergeant."

"I'm Radomir, Sergeant."

"Romansky, Sergeant."

These guys are basically non-commissioned officers, and none of them are ordinary soldiers.

After asking, Fugate learned that these guys had nothing to do, so they started to clear out the monsters near Soft Light Harbor and prepared to drive them to a more remote place.

It just so happened that they were the ones who were most familiar with the Layered Rock Abyss.

So Fuget asked about what happened in the Abyss.

Then I got a map and a large book about the investigation of the Stratum Chasm.

"We drew this map after we left that damn place and combined all the information..."

"Although it is definitely not complete, what can be guaranteed is that everything here has been verified."

"The information is some precautions in the Layered Rock Chasm area."

"For example, the star mushrooms there seem to have mutated and cannot be eaten directly, otherwise it will cause poisoning."

"If there is no way to replenish water, the water from the floating water mushroom can be used as an emergency supplement, but it cannot be used for a long time, because symptoms of water erosion will appear."

"Also be careful with the methane gas, which can explode violently if it comes into contact with open flames."

"Especially Sergeant Katarina and Corporal Nikolai, who explored very deep." The captain said, "Most of the deep areas were discovered by the two of them."

Fugate still had some impression of Catarina's siblings, both of whom were from the Winterhearth House.

After talking with the 9th Company, Fugate also had a preliminary impression of the Layered Abyss.

Combining the records in his memory bank, he had a deeper understanding of the Layered Abyss.

To summarize it with a few idioms, it is a harbor of filth and dirt, extremely vicious, poor mountains and bad waters, full of smoke and miasma, and the sky and the earth are blocked.

"Thank you for your hard work, that place...tsk~" Fugate didn't know how to describe it.

Anyway, he didn't want to be exposed to that kind of air. It was said that most parts of the Layered Rock Abyss were gushing out black mud. This black mud not only looked disgusting, but was actually very disgusting, with a strong odor and serious pollution.

It is the negativity and impurities in the earth vein energy.

When he was about to go down into the mine, he wore his power armor and defeated any enemy he encountered.

······
"Xamien, what on earth are those guys from the Abyss Cult doing in the Layered Abyss?" asked Fuget.

Before heading to the Layered Abyss, Fuget came to Xiamian.

By this time Tinari had completed the implantation of the Mandela tissue and the pebble kidney.

Adaptive training is in progress and the body has developed to its final form for this surgery.

There will probably be some horizontal development later, but it’s no longer important.

"I don't know either. I just saw those hillbillies dying in large numbers. They must be plotting something." Xiamian said, "I saw an upside-down city among them. Their conspiracy may be related to this city."

Xia Mian began to tell everything he saw.

Fugate also began to use his psychic vision.

But unfortunately, I still didn’t see anything.

"Speaking of which, the thunder element in this kid is becoming more and more powerful." Fuget looked at Tinari.

"I think it won't be long before I can awaken the ability to control lightning elements."

Xiamian nodded in agreement. The power contained in the gene seed was gradually being unlocked as Xiamian transformed Tinari.

Once the combat core and the secondary brain are installed, the power contained in the gene seed will surely be fully activated.

"Get stronger." Fugate patted Tinari's head. Well, his hair wasn't as nice as Shamian's, and it lacked maintenance, but it was also very healthy.

Tinari was angry but dared not speak out.

Then Fugate touched Xiamian's hair again, and sure enough, Xiamian's hair felt better.

You can tell at a glance that it is carefully taken care of.

"Then I'll be leaving first." Fugate waved his hand and headed towards the Layered Abyss.

There is a cave connecting the Layered Abyss and the Huacheng Castle, which is also one of the important trade routes between the two countries. This road only appeared three hundred years ago. When Fuget came here, this trade route did not exist.

I can only sigh that these people are really capable.

Such a large trade route... I don’t know how it was dug out. You have to know that Liyue and Xumi do not have the ability to build machinery on a large scale.

"But I guess this trade route wasn't opened intentionally." Fuget looked around and said while stroking his chin.
······
(Wearing power armor)

After a while, Fugate walked in the dirty underground with a frown on his face.

A rock dragon lizard let out a loud roar and then rushed towards Fugate.

Fugate raised the muzzle of his gun slightly, and the machine soul of the grenade launcher roared.

The rock dragon lizard died instantly.

"Even the Dragon's Gem has been contaminated." Fugate's voice came from the power armor. "This damn pollution..."

Kicking the rock dragon lizard aside, Fugate continued to search for the upside-down city along the route drawn by the Ninth Company.

"Who is it?" As Fuget walked through a mine, he pointed his gun at a dark corner.

"Don't~ sir, don't shoot, we'll come out soon." Several members of the treasure-hunting group appeared in front of Fugate in a panic.

Fugate put away his bolter, picked up his chainsword and began to question several treasure-hunting groups about the upside-down city.

"I haven't heard of it, sir." The member of the treasure-stealing team said with a bitter expression.

However, at this time a member of the treasure-stealing group provided a clue.

"Um~Uncle, I seem to have heard of the so-called upside-down city you mentioned." The speaker was a man who was quite strong.

"Oh~ tell me about it." said Fugate, his voice becoming a little scary under the blessing of the grille system.

"Uncle, when we were catching... hiring miners, we heard a miner named Lao Chen say that there seemed to be such an upside-down city deep down."

"But we all thought it was hysteria from breathing too much gas."

"Is there a specific location? If so, mark it for me."

Fugate handed a map to the members of the treasure-hunting group.

"Uncle, it's not on your map, but I marked it. It should be nearby." A member of the treasure-hunting team marked a location.

"Very good, you didn't lie and you are sensible." Fugate said as he took back the map and then took out a bag from the void.

"The top grade glass crystal sand in here should be enough as payment."

"Let's leave here. It's getting more and more unsafe here."

"Thank you, sir." The members of the treasure-stealing team bid farewell to Fuget.

Then, behind him came the sounds of several members of the treasure-stealing group dividing the colored glaze crystal sand.

"The speed and method with which Qixing handled the problem were commendable, but they did not solve the fundamental problem." Fugate continued to go deeper into the mine.

Psychic energy told him that those people were honest miners a few years ago. It was because of the suspension of production at the Layered Abyss that so many people became treasure-stealing groups.

Although Qixing has a policy to resettle miners, resettlement does not mean that these people can return to their previous lives.

Unable to go back to the previous days, many people naturally cannot survive, and then they naturally have no choice but to take risks, join the treasure-stealing group, and then become illegal miners affiliated with the treasure-stealing group.

It's just that the risk is really quite great.

Along the way, Fugate encountered many corpses of treasure-hunting group members. Most of them died at the mouths of monsters, and many died in this harsh environment.

Here, Fugate also met many groups of treasure-hunting gangs. Among these members, only a few were extremely vicious, and most of them were looking for a way out because they could not survive.

Many of them were once miners in the abyss.
