There is a lord who just wants to draw cards, what's wrong with that?

[In ancient times, there was a legendary magician who was dedicated to leading the suffering people of the North to a beautiful new world with birds singing and flowers blooming. This ruins was his testing ground. For this purpose, he injected countless magic powers to experiment with various scenarios, just to welcome the day of harvest...]

[C-level event rewards: 50w villain points/year, settled at 00:00 on the year-end day]

[Achieve B-level milestone—Rise of the Empire! ]

[Under your encouragement, the Sun King displayed his power ahead of time, like a butterfly of cause and effect flapping its wings, and you witnessed the second sun rising into the sky.

That is the horn of the empire's rise! That is the spring of the grand engine of the times! In the long scroll of human history, a new and brilliant chapter will be written with golden ink! 】

[B-level event reward: blank template x1

100 million villain value/year, settlement at 00:00 on the year-end day]

[Currently, through the rewards of major events, the villain's annual income is: 260 million]

Looking up at the new sun in the sky and three major events in a row, Domi felt that all this was a little too magical.

I thought the Sun King just wanted to show off with his ultimate move, but I didn't expect that the ultimate move was only secondary. His main purpose was to hang another sun in the sky?! Ang glass pop...

As a shrewd king, Domi knew that this guy would never do something without a purpose, and this sun must have other unknown purposes.

But this is not something Domi can understand now. He just hopes that he will not encounter such a terrifying opponent in the future.

Rather than thinking about the future, it is more important to run away now. Once the ruins are destroyed, they, as the only survivors, will definitely be brought to the public eye, and they will definitely be in great danger.

So now I have to get away quickly!

Justin, Harun and the three people from the long-range turret said goodbye to Domi and the other three, and then went their separate ways. Domi and the others also had their own destination. He planned to go to the place that Thor pointed out to him to see if there was any gain.

After such a life-and-death adventure, I got nothing. It's really a huge loss...

But this may not be quite accurate. After all, the extra 160 million villains every year still make him feel gratified.

Isn't villain value more useful than any treasure?

Therefore, he went there mainly to seek benefits for the team members who had been busy for so many days. After all, he is a three-good captain who is generous, kind, well-liked and cares about his team members.

"The Adventurer's Association should give me the best captain trophy..."

Chapter 148 The Value of a Legendary Mage’s Life

Chapter 148-147- The Value of a Legendary Mage's Life

When they arrived at the location pointed out by the Sun King, they found that it was just an open space in the forest.

There is a rotten and hollow wooden stake above the exact coordinates. It doesn't look like the administrator's secret hut at all, but more like the home of various cold-resistant fungi.

According to Domi's memory, it is impossible for him to remember it wrong. If it is here, then it must be here.

"The coordinates are correct. It's either above or underground." Domi said confidently.

Everyone looked up at the sky, only to see a clear blue sky with a few birds flying by. Since the second sun appeared, the weather in the north has improved a lot, and the temperature has only risen a little bit, which is not enough to cause the sea level to rise...

Afu shrugged: "It doesn't look like he's in heaven."

"It's definitely underground!" Domi stepped on the snow with his boots, "Let's start digging, guys. Just dig straight down."

As he spoke, he used slime gel to shape four shovels and gave them one each to Touer, Tower Shield Brother, and Swordsman Brother. The last one was his own.

Then he said to Forty-Seven and Afu, "You two should patrol the area with it, and try not to let strangers get close."

"clear."

"I see."

"..."

The four of them picked up the slime shovels and started digging under their feet.

I have to say, the blessing the Sun King gave him was really effective!

I directly added ten points of strength, and when I started working, I felt very energetic and did not tire myself at all!

Besides him, Toer is also a muscular man who digs the soil like a donkey in the production team. The main features of Tower Shield and Swordsman are hardworking and uncomplaining. Compared with the first two, their efficiency is lower, but they are very stable.

With their unremitting efforts, when the depth of the pit reached about three meters, Duomi's shovel finally touched a hard object other than soil, and he was delighted.

At this moment, he thought that since the administrator traveled between the ruins and the secret room by teleportation, and his body was dead, this secret room probably would not have a door or vent, and he would have to violently dig a hole if he wanted to get in.

The secret room did not seem to be very valuable. The walls were made of ordinary stones, and a hole was casually chiseled out so that one person could enter and exit.

To be on the safe side, the swordsman was asked to go down and explore the way first. After finding no danger, Domi also went in. Since the secret room was not large, the others stayed outside and waited for good news.

There was no light in the secret room, but Domi had night vision.

After the vision cleared, it could be seen that the secret room was quite clean, at least there was no dust accumulated. The furniture inside was simple, a desk, a chair, and a bookshelf next to it. There was not a single book, only parchment documents with rough edges.

The things on the desk were even simpler: a diary, with an ink bottle, a feather pen and an oil lamp next to it.

Based on this environment, Domi could almost conclude that this was not a place to hide treasures, but a private hut belonging to the administrator himself. After all, he even placed his most private notebook here.

There is a teleportation array engraved on the floor behind the chair. This is all the furnishings in the secret room. In two words, it can be described as simple.

Domi was greatly disappointed, but in line with his ideal belief that a thief never leaves empty-handed, he decided to study the information left by the administrator carefully.

However, time was limited, so he stuffed the diary into his pocket first. It was very convenient to open a pocket in the lining of clothes made of slime, and it was easy to put even a book in it.

Then he placed all the documents in the bookshelf on the table, sat on the chair and scanned them one by one.

[Ten lines in one glance] + [Photographic memory] played a big role at this moment again.

"The 4481st environmental simulation experiment: This time we simulate the desert terrain, referring to the western desert of the continent. We use high-heat light magic to simulate the sun. The temperature difference between morning and night in the desert is very large, so we use ice magic to create low temperatures at night... Oh, and the remnants of the Xisha Empire that we abducted last time can be placed here as guinea pigs."

"Experimental results: Failure. The high-heat light magic and high-intensity ice magic consumed too much magic power and could not be operated for a long time."

"The 4482nd environmental simulation experiment: This time we simulate a highly mobile terrain to achieve rapid disease isolation, fire isolation, and other measures..."

"Experimental results: Failure, randomness cannot be controlled."

"The 4483rd environmental simulation experiment: for the sake of residents' mental health, simulate thunder and windy weather..."

"Experimental results: Failure, excessive consumption of magic power."

"The 4,484th environmental simulation experiment... I seem to have missed something... The facility's magic power reserves have run out, and the treasures are exhausted. We can't continue the simulation, and we can't continue to attract outsiders to conduct experiments. There is no point...

This facility, in the end, failed to bring the people of the North to a perfect world. I poured all my time and energy as a legendary wizard into it, but... there was still no return. "

"What is my life worth?"

As he wrote this, Duomi seemed to be able to see that the administrator at that time was getting increasingly irritable and his sanity was on the verge of collapse. The most intuitive manifestation was his handwriting that went from delicate to scrawled.

Every stroke and every painting is so frenetic, just like his heart.

“Anyone who works hard for hundreds or thousands of years but gets no reward would go crazy.”

Domi now feels a little sympathetic to this guy. After all, his starting point was extremely kind and upright, and he really paid a huge price for it.

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that... I'm really tired."

At the end of this last document, he left this sentence.

How desperate and sad that would be.

Domi sorted out the documents and then took them out of the secret room. These documents might let the entire Northern Kingdom know that there was once a legendary wizard who worked hard underground for nearly a thousand years for the sake of everyone's life, and even abandoned his physical body.

When he came out, Toer and Afu surrounded him and asked what was going on. Even Forty-Seven pricked up his ears, wanting to know what the situation was like inside.

"It's just a secret room with a table, chairs and a bookshelf, and nothing else but these files."

Everyone was disappointed when they heard it. They thought the final treasure was hidden inside, but they didn't expect this result.

"Hey~ let's go."

"Being a beast of burden adventurer is at least rewarding, how come he doesn't even give me a little severance pay..."

Duomi twitched his lips, these two guys really fell into the eyes of money.

After they were done, they did not stay in the Ruins City, which was currently a place of trouble. Some people, such as the innkeeper, still recognized them, so they went back in a swaggering manner to ensure that they would be recognized, and then tell the outside world "Someone came out alive from the ruins~~"

Their next target was the Holy Ifamur Theocracy, so Domi and the others walked in that direction on foot. On the way, they caught a horse-drawn carriage transporting goods. Since they were going in a similar direction, they hitchhiked on it, and the driver readily agreed.

In the front and rear open-air carriages with a shock absorption effect of almost zero, Toer was snoring (it was really strange that he could fall asleep in such an environment), Afu was wiping the dagger that had been with her for three years, and Forty-Seven was resting with his eyes closed.

Taking advantage of this free time, Domi took out the diary that he had not had time to read from his arms.

By the way, Duomi put those documents on the city lord's desk before leaving. Worried that he would not be able to carry them clearly, he thoughtfully made a few copies and gave them to several local newspapers.

It’s not that the managers want to kill them and help whitewash them. It’s mainly because Domi doesn’t want the world to forget his efforts before he went crazy. It’s a shameless way to say that heroes appreciate heroes.

This notebook should have been started after he entered the facility, and half of it has not been touched.

Domi opened the diary of the legendary wizard with great anticipation, wanting to know what kind of mental journey he had gone through.

Soon, Domi knew his real name - Milu. Just like it was written on the title page of the exercise book, Milu also wrote his name on the first page after opening the title page:

Milou's Diary

Duomi understood it immediately. It turned out that they all had the surname "Mi". No wonder they were so awesome.

In the early stages of the diary, he would describe the simulation experiments in detail, and then become more and more concise, until at the end there was only one line at most - "I also did an experiment today."

In the middle of the "One Line Era", Milu would occasionally write down a few words to express his dissatisfaction, either complaining that the magic power consumption was still very high, or complaining that he was almost tired of eating food.

The subsequent dissatisfaction never appeared again after he decided to abandon his physical body.

By the end, everything seemed to have changed.

He no longer recorded anything related to the experiment, nor did he complain about it. The entire article only had one focus, a god named - 'Void'.

Milu affectionately called her the 'vain mistress'.

The mistress would often listen to his requests in his dreams and express deep and sincere sympathy. Milu seemed to have found a soulmate.

Under the guidance of this false mistress, Milu gradually became unable to do experiments and often questioned himself. After countless failures, is it necessary to persevere?

From the recorded conversations, we can see that the mistress was always trying to persuade him to give up. He had lost his body, so what else could he not lose? He might as well live a free life.

Perhaps it was because Milu's desire to seek welfare for the suffering people in the North was not so easy to uproot, and he continued to "work" despite the temptation.

Not until all his treasures were gone, his magic power was exhausted, and the last document ended with a scribbled sentence did he give up completely.

What is this paradise far away from hunger and cold? If it is not God, no one can do it with the power of mortals alone!

Without faith, even the soul of a legendary wizard would be as fragile and helpless as duckweed. He turned into the arms of vanity, enjoying a moment of tenderness in the gentle arms of his mistress.

As time went on, he became calmer and calmer, so calm that he had no interest in anything.

Even if the best food in the world, the most charming woman, or even the most powerful force were placed in front of him, he would not be interested in them.

Now his only pleasure is to make more people feel the absurdity, hypocrisy, absurdity and falsehood.

That was what the mistress taught him, saying that it would help him regain his happiness. And it was just as the mistress said, when he gave up completely, he really felt happy!

The joy of doing nothing, the joy of doing nothing without meaning, the joy of realizing that everything you have done before was in vain!

It's just that abstract.

This seemed like nonsense to Domi, but it actually happened to Milu.

It was also under the "earnest teachings" of the False Mistress that Milu began to plan a big game. This happened to be the day when the magic ruins were about to be opened as usual, and thousands of living people would come to his paradise.

Therefore, Milu wanted to make these thousands of people feel that unforgettable emptiness!

There are rewards, just like in previous years. The longer you hold on and the more levels you pass, the bigger the rewards will be. But when it comes to the final settlement, you find that, hey, there is nothing, it's all nothing.

Next were the people who died on the way. We thought they would be eliminated and sent out, but we never expected that they would die directly.

Is there anything more ridiculous than dying in a daze?

It can be said that from the beginning to the end, everything was going according to Milu's plan, even though they destroyed everything...

In his plan, he should kill everyone in the end to perfectly achieve his second goal.

Even if an accident occurs and someone manages to kill everything and break out, he or she will not get any reward because the inventory has already been emptied, and it will be a wasted trip, which indirectly achieves the first goal.

Anyone who walked into the portal on that day could not escape this fate. He fooled everyone.

He wrote down this plan in full on the last page of his diary. Like the last document, he also wrote a digression at the end:

"In this way, I will probably feel happy for the first time in a long time, and I'm sure she will be filled with joy too. At least my life can create this little value."

When Domi saw this, he suddenly realized, or perhaps he successfully figured out something in his mind.

According to some fragments of words, it turns out that Milu already knew that the experiment would fail in the middle and later stages.

They continue to conduct meaningless experiments for the sake of self-comfort or numbness, not because they have a deep-rooted desire to seek the well-being of the people.
