At the same time, Pompeii was located northwest of Jialan City.
Rommel, Kanon and many other core members of the Truth Society appeared on the edge of the crater of an active volcano.
The crater is spewing high-temperature black smoke outwards, the surrounding air is filled with the pungent smell of sulfur, and the ground nearby is extremely hot. If the group of people hadn't been protected by extraordinary powers, they would definitely have been burned.
At this time, the group of people had serious expressions, as if they were waiting for something.
After waiting for a few seconds, Rommel looked at Canon aside and said, "It should be almost done, let's get started."
"Yes, supervisor." Canon nodded, turned to look at the person aside, and issued the order, "Start."
There was a commotion at first, and then they separated to both sides. At the end, there were many people carrying huge metal boxes and walking towards the crater.
The metal box was almost one meter square. It was lifted into the crater and opened, revealing the contents inside. I saw that it was dark sand with faint blue pebbles mixed in.
"fall!"
Canon spoke up.
The person holding the box immediately poured the black sand in the box into the crater.
After emptying, go back and replace the box with a new one, and then the next person comes forward and pours the black sand in the box towards the crater.
This lasted for more than ten minutes, and hundreds of boxes of black sand were poured into the crater.
The interior of the volcano began to change violently, as if it was stimulated. More high-temperature black smoke poured out from the crater, and a sound like the roar of a wild beast came from the belly.
The surrounding ground shook slightly, and the volcano was about to erupt.
At this moment, Rommel stepped forward, turned his hand, and a red gem the size of a fist appeared in his palm. The ruby was carved into the shape of a human head, with dense magic patterns carved on its surface.
Rommel injected mana into the ruby head statue, and the entire ruby head suddenly lit up. Then Rommel threw the ruby head into the crater.
"boom!"
The ruby fell and exploded with a powerful force, like a meteorite crashing into the belly of the volcano, unexpectedly stopping the volcano from erupting.
No, it's not just stopping, it's more like sealing it.
After a few seconds, all the sounds disappeared, and even the black gas stopped spewing from the crater, as if it was asleep, and everything was quiet.
"It seems that it was successful." Rommel turned around and looked at the crowd and said, "Finally the work is over. Maybe we can relax for a while."
After everyone heard this, they all showed relaxed expressions.
However, Canon still frowned, as if he was worried.
Rommel looked at it, raised his eyebrows, walked closer and asked in a low voice: "What, is something wrong? Isn't your pet returned to you a long time ago?"
"It's not that." Canon said slightly embarrassed, then straightened his expression and said, "Director, I'm a little worried about Wizard Richard."
"Wizard Richard? What's wrong with him? Isn't he very peaceful recently?" Rommel asked.
"Well, earlier yesterday, he asked a core member of the branch, Wizard Joseph, to help him return the borrowed "Book of the Void". He should have studied it and copied it, but I don't know what he studied What's the result? I'm thinking now, what if he succeeds in researching something again and continues to make some illegal requests?"
"Don't worry." Rommel listened and said, "I have had a serious talk with him about the violation before and it will not happen again. In addition, what he is researching will definitely not be successful."
"Huh? Why?" Canon was a little confused.
"Because he really took the wrong path." Rommel said with full confidence on his face. "Even if he can achieve certain results after a short period of time, as long as time goes on, you will find that it is all fake - It was a failure from start to finish.”
"But..." Canon was still a little confused.
Rommel did not explain anything more, and waved his hand to signal Canon to shut up. He did not want to talk more about this matter, and walked towards the crowd. Everyone looked over, as if expecting something.
Rommel clearly took out a crystal ball from his arms and said: "Although I said before that sealing the volcano should be successful, we still have to look at the evidence to see whether it is successful or not. So then Let’s see.”
As he spoke, Rommel injected mana for activation, and saw dense light spots appearing in the crystal ball, all green. At a glance, it was all green.
The only exception is a red dot in the center that attracts everyone's attention.
However, after the red dot flickered tenaciously for a few times, it eventually turned into a green dot, and the entire crystal ball shone with green light from the inside to the outside.
Rommel smiled, looked at everyone and announced: "This time it was really successful."
"Successful." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"This success can be regarded as the completion of the most important thing in the construction of Pompeii." Rommel said, looking into the distance, "Then, everyone, let us witness the beginning of a new era. Although there are still a lot of filth and obstacles now, I believe it will get better and better.”
Everyone responded and followed Rommel looking into the distance. As they watched, colorful lights gradually appeared in their eyes.
Where they were looking was Pompeii, an unprecedented Pompeii!
…
Two days later.
Garden of Eden.
It was a peaceful day.
Pandora continued to delve into mathematics in the room. Her pet golden retriever dog had a rare opportunity to sneak out. At this time, it was relaxing on its own in the open space in front of the main laboratory.
I saw a big golden retriever dog running wildly while biting its tail. It barked a few times from time to time, but every time it tried to keep its voice down to avoid disturbing Pandora again and being called back.
More than fifty tall modified skeletons still stood in the open space like statues, acting as a background board. The old man Lich was lying on an easy chair and continued to enjoy his leisure time - ever since Richard returned from Delan last time. Later, when there was no more survival crisis, his enthusiasm for transforming skeletons plummeted. At first, he spent three days fishing and two days drying nets, and now he spends four days fishing and drying nets.
In comparison, the eight-armed skeleton is more enthusiastic than the old man Lich. He has been modifying the other skeletons recently, either by replacing arms or thighs.
At first, the old man Lich was a little surprised, but as time went by, he got used to it and let the eight-armed skeleton do whatever he wanted, as long as it didn't break it - in fact, he was quite happy to subcontract this project to the eight-armed skeleton. , I just don’t know what the eight-armed skeleton can do.
"The better I do, the more relaxed I will be." The old man Lich thought to himself, squirming on the easy chair and adjusting to a more comfortable position, ready to take a nap.
He had dreamed of many good things in his youth before, and he hoped that he could continue to dream like last time... The old man Lich thought as his consciousness slowly began to sink, getting heavier and heavier, and gradually fell into a dream.
As a result, just before falling into a dream, a sharp siren suddenly sounded without warning, cutting through the person's eardrum like a sharp knife, causing pain.
"Squeak! Woo! Squeak! Woo!"
The old man Lich was awakened instantly and sat up from the easy chair. He was stunned for about half a second before he realized what had happened.
The alarm is going off!
Yes, the alarm rang, and the place where it rang was the No. 3 laboratory where the ancient immortal tree species Ximu is located!
The tree finally couldn't help but rebel!
Rebellion!
