Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 460, Section 458: Dreams, Sacred Techniques, and Laws (Please Subscribe)
To be honest, it's not reasonable for Leon Vasquez to be in charge of all security and police in the industrial area.

These are clearly two major departments, and if one person is put in charge of both, then the power is too concentrated.

This was something that not only Roy, but even Leon Vasquez was unwilling to accept.

Compared to Luo Yi's trust, he was unwilling to covet these rights.

Furthermore, with industrial development, urban expansion, population growth, and frequent trade, both aspects of his work put immense pressure on Leon Vasquez.

The police department's tasks are already tedious and busy, and they also have to be careful about the safety and environmental protection of the industrial area.

In particular, those spies and agents from various countries are always trying to obtain high-value technology and information.

Even with the help of Ang's brothers, he still felt powerless.

Therefore, he had discussed with Luo Yi a long time ago about sharing some of the power with others.

The problem is, Luo Yi has no talented people under her command!
To secure a position, one must possess skill, strategy, and magnanimity.

Only in this way can you manage the things under your command smoothly.

Of course, this is the final result, but the prerequisite for sitting in that position is always ability.

In this world, strength is the only thing that matters. With the current size of the Flower Leader Group, if there weren't extraordinary combat power, it wouldn't be able to keep its arrogant and fierce subordinates in check in this crucial department.

What about Kroy's subordinates?
Those vassal knights mostly retained the characteristics of feudal aristocrats; they revered force and despised culture.

Many people can't even read, let alone do accounting; they have to find someone to write for them.

Making them practice "Basic Meditation" is like giving them a basic education.

These brutes might be okay in the army, but they're really bad at management!

As for Captain Sik Francis, he is capable of managing such a large mercenary group in an orderly manner and maintaining it despite the increasingly harsh external environment. His abilities are truly remarkable.

So, Loy let him learn from Leon Vasquez and eventually take over the police department's work.

Of course, the reason for choosing him was not only because he was suitable, but also to establish a reputation for "spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones".

Commander Sidney Francis was the first in a series of extraordinary cases to become the Commissioner of Police.

Bane, the half-giant, was the first of the natural disasters, and he was stationed at Siren Harbor.

Both of them were given important responsibilities, and Luo Yi placed great trust in them, setting an example for the previous recruitment of talents.

In fact, after the news spread, some people, after careful consideration, rushed here.

Of course, these locals have enjoyed the benefits and reaped the rewards, so they are not happy if someone tries to take a slice of their "cake".

But they dared not vent their displeasure on Luo Yi, not even daring to grumble at her.

Luo Yi's current prestige is so high that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's "at its zenith." No one dares to criticize her, not even in private!

However, if there's no outlet for their frustration, they can only engage in involution.

Ultimately, it's because they themselves are not ambitious enough. So, those who should be cultivating and those who should be breaking through have all been sidelined.

This is Luo Yi's overall plan and strategy. Now is not the time to rest on one's laurels.

The tides of time can indeed lift them to great heights, allowing them to appreciate the magnificent scenery of the heavens.

However, if things go wrong, a large number of people could fall to their deaths when the tide goes out.

Therefore, he will not let the flower-filled leadership fall into a state of complacency, but rather make that line taut. When it is taut, everyone will have the motivation to move forward.

Of course, all of the above were arrangements made by Luo Yi before he fell asleep; he never expected to sleep for so long.

His simultaneous cultivation of the four sacred techniques was indeed as Deep Blue had calculated, with little danger.

But as for the inexplicable changes, they eventually did occur.

At this moment, Luo Yi was trapped in countless bizarre and fantastical dreams, unable to extricate herself.

He seemed to be running wildly in a desolate wilderness, surrounded by towering trees and countless terrifying beasts roaring, their angry cries shaking the heavens and the earth.

But he was not afraid at all.

Because he is the strongest one.

With his claws and roars, he crushed countless giant beasts, making the world tremble before him.

Until one moment, he was by the water, looking down.

There stood a lion, its mane and whiskers bristling, its eyes filled with ferocity, cunning and cruelty.

The scene shifted, and he seemed to be plunged into an endless river of blood, surging and sinking with the waves.

At this moment, he seemed to shrink dozens of times, and upon closer inspection, one could see countless blood spheres surging and shuttling about.

He drifted with the current, traversing great rivers and winding paths, even disappearing into the earth itself.
Until finally, it merged into a vast ocean of blood.

Here, he seemed to hear the movement of a vast ocean of blood, not the ebb and flow of tides, but its expansion and contraction.

Each time, it's like the heartbeat of a giant beast, shaking the world!

The dream shifted again, and he seemed to transform into lightning, freely traversing the vast and boundless world.

With each leap and each rise and fall of his body, lightning flashed and thunder roared, carrying countless messages to distant lands. The dream shifted again, and he sensed an infinite void, seemingly boundless and endless.

But he himself is the void, and can feel the void's writhing and expansion.

Of course, that's nothing. The most amazing thing is that he seems to be able to control this void.

So he distorted space, folded the two points together, and bent the void to form a loop.

He even twisted space into a pretzel, forming an endless Möbius strip.

Finally, he lost his patience and, with a burst of force, crushed the void, shattering it like a falling mirror.

At that moment, he was stunned, as if he had realized something, yet he was also confused, as if he hadn't grasped anything at all.

But dreams don't wait. The scene changes again, and the world becomes boundless and desolate, with all sound disappearing.

But the less he could hear, the more he wanted to hear it.

So, I pricked up my ears, focused my mind, and tried my best to listen!

And so, it was as if he truly heard it; it was the sound of the world.

This dream is about fire; in the void, a blazing fire burns fiercely!

He seemed to have become part of the fire, yet also seemed to be standing alone, intently watching the flame burn.

He saw so much in that fire!
Warmth, scorching heat, burning, destruction...

But these are all just appearances. Looking beyond the surface, one sees countless particles seemingly in intense motion, creating a new form of high temperature and ripples.

At this moment, Luo Yi stared intently, as if wanting to see more clearly.

Then he saw a ripple spreading outwards, seemingly carrying the power of lightning.

He saw visible light, to the point that it was visible to the naked eye, captured by the eye, and thus transformed into light.

It was a magical experience; he even felt that it was beneficial to him. Unfortunately, the dream didn't give him the chance to fully appreciate it.

So he sank into darkness, felt lonely, couldn't breathe, had no oxygen, and his face turned red from holding his breath.

He felt like he was suffocating; his body lost its strength in the darkness, and the fear of death gripped his heart.

He even hallucinated that a skeleton dressed in a black cloak, holding a scythe, was about to reap his soul.

But at that very moment, some unknown function was activated, and his body seemed to improve considerably.

Although my limbs are still weak and I still can't breathe, my body seems to have found a new way out.

He then transformed into a worker, diligently filling the cracks in the earth, using his unique methods to mend and patch them.
To his surprise, everything he passed seemed to turn golden.

He became a tiny person again, traversing through long pipes, or struggling to move forward in a frozen world, clinging to his hands and feet!
He had too many dreams, and they were too chaotic. Many times he couldn't understand them at all, but sometimes they seemed to give him inspiration.

But all of this was just a fleeting glimpse, and there was no way to delve into it deeply.

He even knows he's dreaming, but he finds it hard to escape the dream.

If he didn't still have some control over his consciousness, he probably would have thought that he was being hunted down by some nightmare witch again.

Kroi knew it was time for him to wake up; he had been asleep for a long time, and it was time for him to wake up!
He made many attempts to achieve this.

For example, throwing oneself into flames and burning oneself; jumping off a cliff and smashing to pieces; or using a weapon to slit one's own throat.

No, it's completely useless.

In his dream, he tried too many things. The dream was unpredictable, deceptively real, and difficult to maintain.

At a certain moment, Luo Yi finally thought of something, and he started shouting—yes, he shouted.

"Deep Blue! Free me from this nightmare!"

From the faint sound, a voice seemed to come: "As you command, Master!"

Thus, at this moment, the dream was shattered into pieces, then turned into a vortex, collapsed, shrank, and finally squeezed into a single point.

As for Luo Yi, she felt herself being squeezed into a tiny point, becoming even thinner than a meat patty.

He then awoke from his terror.

In reality, Luo Yi suddenly sat up, her eyes remaining silent for a long time before finally focusing.

Before him stood Lilia's face, filled with worry.

"Luo Yi, you're finally awake."

Luo Yi looked at her and, as if possessed, said, "Lilia, I understand."

"What do you unserstand?"

"I understand the source of the power of the secret sacred technique, because it is itself full of the creator's understanding of the laws of the world."

In other words, once a legendary figure has mastered a sacred skill, they have already touched upon what a legendary figure can do!
